Technical Program Manager, Dataset Operations

Job description

We are looking for a Technical Program Manager (TPM) to lead the end-to-end management of large-scale, multi-modal datasets that power next-generation Physical AI systems. This role will focus heavily on vendor-sourced data pipelines, ensuring data quality, compliance, scalability, and alignment with research and product goals.

You will operate at the intersection of research, engineering, data vendors, and legal/compliance, driving execution across complex, high-stakes data programs.

What You’ll Be Doing:

Dataset & Vendor Program Management

• Own the lifecycle of large-scale datasets across modalities:

  • Ego-centric video (AR/VR, human interaction)

  • Robotics data (manipulation, embodied AI)

  • Autonomous driving data (multi-sensor, multi-agent)

• Manage external data vendors end-to-end:

  • Scope definition, onboarding, and contracting

  • Data specification and annotation guidelines

  • Delivery tracking, quality control, and iteration loops

• Establish scalable processes for multi-vendor coordination

Data Quality & Specification

• Translate research and model requirements into clear, enforceable data specs

• Define and track data quality metrics (coverage, diversity, labeling accuracy, temporal consistency)

• Drive continuous improvement via structured feedback loops with vendors

Cross-Functional Execution

• Partner with:

  • Research teams (to understand evolving model needs)

  • Engineering teams (data pipelines, storage, tooling)

  • Legal/compliance (data usage rights, privacy, licensing)

• Align dataset strategy with model training and product timelines

Scaling Data Systems

• Build frameworks for:

  • Dataset versioning and traceability
