Job Description

Dexory pioneers autonomous robotics and data-driven intelligence to revolutionize industrial operations in the wider logistics industry. Inspired by Formula 1's relentless pursuit of speed and precision, we fuse cutting-edge autonomous technology, data intelligence and AI with mechatronics and systems engineering to deliver ultra-fast development cycles and deployable robotics solutions.



As the Engineering Programme Manager, you will lead and accelerate the end-to-end delivery of Dexory's autonomous robotics and data-intelligence programmes by instilling a high-velocity cadence across all engineering teams. You'll own planning, coordination and risk management--ensuring rapid iteration, cross-discipline alignment and production introduction of engineering features and new products. This is a highly cross-functional, process-focused and agile role supporting project execution across multiple engineering disciplines including Mechanical, Electronics, Software, Robotics and Production. While not a people management position, you will be instrumental in enabling multiple teams to work effectively and deliver programmes on time and to the highest standard. It is essential you have worked within an engineering environment and have an understanding of engineering design and build completion times.

Responsibilities:

Own engineering programme timelines and maintain high-level roadmaps to ensure delivery on all projects (and correctly prioritised) Chair twice-weekly "pit-stop" stand-ups with Software, Robotics and Production leads to surface blockers and drive rapid decisions. Facilitate bi-weekly programme reviews to align Product, Engineering Operations and Customer Success on priorities and risk mitigation. Translate strategic objectives into sprint-based roadmaps, with clearly defined milestones every 2-4 weeks. Implement live dashboards (e.g. burndown charts, test-pass metrics) to monitor project health; escalate deviations within 24 hours. Drive cadence and ensure teams are being supported with live data to understand performance metrics. Own the "failure-mode" post-mortems after each deployment cycle, capturing lessons and accelerating root-cause fixes. Partner with wider team to enhance our PLM/ERP toolchain for automated build-to-deploy workflows and inventory transparency and ensure the NPI process is streamlined from engineering inception to production. Identify process bottlenecks in prototype manufacturing, software integration and data perception pipeline ops--drive events and ownership to eliminate lead-time. Standardise project delivery frameworks (e.g., stage-gate or agile variants). Enable successful NPI (New Product Introduction) through structured delivery models. Oversee inventory management for projects and programs Coordinate engineering-to-operations handovers and readiness reviews. Maintain documentation, dashboards, and reporting mechanisms.

Required Qualifications:

Proven track record in engineering project or programme management, ideally within robotics, automotive, or high-tech manufacturing. Exceptional at driving focus in fast-moving teams; capable of influencing senior stakeholders with clarity and conviction. Experience working in a fast environment where problems need to be solved quickly. Process-driven mindset with the ability to flex based on team maturity. Familiarity with NPI processes and cross-disciplinary hardware development. Comfortable working across multiple teams and managing complex stakeholder dynamics. Experience identifying and fixing blockers/bottlenecks across departments. A real grit/drive to make a difference
