Technical Program Manager

Movement is a powerful way to build physical, mental and social health. Yet it is elusive for 2 billion people due to age, injury, or disability. We are building products that will restore mobility for millions and enable a new frontier of joyful movement experiences. We want to build a future where a grandparent can easily outrun their grandkids and no one is left behind at the trailhead.

Skip is a 22-person early-stage start-up that spun out of Google X in 2023. With deep cross-disciplinary expertise and key partnerships (e.g. with Arc’teryx) we are uniquely positioned to launch the first commercially successful wearable robotic device , the MO/GO , develop a platform to launch future Movewear products and transform millions of lives in the coming years.

We are seeking a highly motivated and adaptable individual who will explore the peaks and valleys of all problems that may come up while building a new category of consumer product.

You will be the connective tissue across our hardware, firmware, software, and operations teams — the person who keeps a complex, cross-disciplinary program moving without losing the details that matter. You'll own the integrated program plan and milestone cadence that gets the MO/GO into customers' hands.

Some of the specific responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

Own the integrated hardware program plan across mechanical, electrical, firmware, software, and supply chain — from early prototypes through EVT, DVT, PVT, and ramp to 10,000+ units shipped in the next 18 months

Roadmap our hardware and cross-functional delivery milestones for the next 5 years, including support for multiple products

Drive structured milestone reviews, risk registers, and decision logs so nothing important is left undocumented or unresolved

Partner with hardware engineers to understand subsystem tradeoffs — actuators, sensors, power systems — and translate them into program-level decisions and schedule impacts
