Want to help build a better world powered by automation?  Want to join a creative, mission-driven team?  At READY Robotics, we’re building Forge/OS, the next-generation industrial OS for robots and automation.  Forge/OS empowers customers to take a software-first approach to automating the dirty and dangerous tasks involved in making the myriad of goods enjoyed by all of us every day.  Our hardware-agnostic platform enables software applications to be deployed across robots from different vendors through a common set of APIs.  These software applications in turn enable operators to program tasks and manage robot work cells with minimal training.  

We seek a highly motivated individual to join our team as a Senior Technical Project Manager.  If you’re passionate about making an outsized impact on the world, then this is your opportunity to join a team of like-minded people on our mission to improve the quality of life for everyone by making automation more accessible and widely available.

READY acts as an internal automation team for many of our enterprise customers who are standardizing on READY’s Forge/OS.

We help these enterprises to develop and scale enterprise wide business transformation initiatives. 

You will work with a team of professionals in a fast-paced, collaborative environment to manage the deployment of automated equipment and solutions for every application, process, and industry that you can imagine.
