Mecka AI is building the data infrastructure layer for robotics and embodied AI.
We design and operate global systems for data capture, data labeling, and hardware-enabled workflows used by leading AI labs and robotics companies to train and validate humanoid and embodied AI systems.
We work closely with frontier robotics teams to bridge real-world data, simulation, learning-based systems, and deployed hardware.
Serve as the principal operational architect of our deployment division, driving the end-to-end robotics lifecycle. As a senior IC, you will bridge commercial strategy, technical execution, and global supply chain operations to scale complex multi-vendor enterprise deployments and launch new markets across North America.
End-to-End Program Execution: Act as the lead program owner for our most complex, high-value enterprise rollouts. Drive cross-functional execution across Commercial, Solutions Engineering, and Field Ops to ensure seamless delivery of custom AI-robotics integrations and Pudu fleets.
Logistics & Supply Chain Orchestration: Design and optimize the operational workflows for our hardware supply chain. Coordinate international freight, customs/import compliance, localized warehousing, and spare parts distribution networks (including 3PLs) to ensure hardware is on-site and on-time for new market deployments.
Principal OEM Technical Bridge: Serve as the primary technical liaison and senior escalation point for Pudu Robotics and future OEM partners. Translate North American field data into actionable product requirements to influence overseas hardware/software engineering roadmaps.
Systems Architecture & Standardization: Architect the internal tools and processes required to scale. Design advanced workflows in agile/tracking tools (Jira, Asana, ERP systems) to unify global teams. Build out data-driven reporting for key operational metrics (fleet uptime, deployment time-to-value, MTTR, inventory turns).
7–10+ years of experience as a TPM, Technical Operations Lead, or Supply Chain PM in robotics, complex enterprise IoT, or industrial hardware.
New Market & Logistics Expertise: Hands-on experience coordinating hardware deployments into new geographical markets, with a strong understanding of international freight, customs processes, and third-party logistics (3PL) coordination.
Senior IC Leadership: Proven ability to lead by influence (without direct reports). You can align executives, field engineers, and external vendors around a single master schedule and hold them accountable.
Systems & Process Mastery: Expert in configuring workflow and resource-planning systems (Asana, Jira, NetSuite, etc.) to bring order to chaotic, early-stage scaling environments.
Technical Acumen: Deep comfort bridging the gap between hardware/software engineering and real-world field operations; able to query and analyze fleet telemetry data to spot operational trends before they become bottlenecks.
Studies show women and candidates from underrepresented groups often only apply when they meet 100% of the listed qualifications, while others apply after meeting 60%. If you don't check every box above but believe you can do the job, we encourage you to apply — we're looking for capability and trajectory, not a perfect checklist match.
Inclusive Hiring at Mecka
We are committed to creating an inclusive and supportive candidate experience. Should you require any accommodation whatsoever during the interview process, please inform us without any hesitation. Mecka is dedicated to ensuring equal treatment and opportunity in all phases of recruitment, selection, and employment, in compliance with employment law.

Use of Artificial Intelligence in Recruitment
Mecka uses artificial intelligence (AI) responsibly to support administrative and efficiency-focused aspects of our recruitment process. This includes activities such as drafting job descriptions, generating interview questions, note-taking and recordings, and supporting sourcing and scheduling workflows. All candidate evaluations, interviews, and hiring decisions are made by members of the Mecka team. While AI tools may assist with screening and assessment, they do not replace human judgment in selection decisions. Our use of AI is intended to streamline routine tasks, improve consistency, and enhance the overall candidate experience. We are committed to upholding principles of fairness, transparency, and accountability in all hiring activities. Mecka regularly reviews its recruitment practices to mitigate bias and to ensure alignment with applicable laws and evolving best practices.
