About the Team
DoorDash Labs is an independent team within DoorDash. We are working on building autonomous delivery robots from the ground-up and other automation solutions as part of DoorDashs core delivery platform. If you have a passion for applying AI and robotics solutions in a service used by millions of people, then we want to talk to you!
About the Role
As the Hardware TPM at DoorDash Labs, you will play a central role within the robotics hardware team and across all of DoorDash Labs as we improve last-mile deliveries using autonomy. You will report to the Lead of our Technical Program Management team. This role requires onsite presence in one of our two HW Labs in either San Francisco or Oakland, minimum two days per week.
