# New Product Introduction (NPI) Technical Program Manager
Coordinate new product introduction for Zipline's autonomous delivery hardware and operations programs.
## What the role actually is
Zipline is hiring an NPI technical program manager in South San Francisco. The role is about moving new autonomous delivery hardware and related systems from development into scalable production and operations.
For a robotics company, NPI is where product intent, engineering readiness, manufacturing constraints, and field operations all have to reconcile.
## What you would work on
* Drive program plans for new product introduction efforts * Coordinate engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, and operations stakeholders * Track readiness, risks, milestones, and cross-functional dependencies * Help new drone-delivery systems move from prototype toward reliable deployment
## What they are asking for
* Technical program management experience with hardware, robotics, aerospace, or complex manufactured products * Strong cross-functional coordination across engineering and operations teams * Ability to identify risks before they affect launch timelines * Willingness to work from Zipline's South San Francisco site
## Why this one is worth a look
Zipline's product is not just an aircraft; it is a deployed logistics system. NPI work there is interesting because it has to make autonomous hardware manufacturable, supportable, and operationally dependable.
