Formic is reshaping American manufacturing by making industrial robotics accessible through a Robotics-as-a-Service model. The company combines industrial robotics, proprietary software, and full-service support to help manufacturers deploy automation quickly without large upfront capital investment. Backed by leading investors including Lux Capital, Initialized Capital, and Blackhorn Ventures, Formic is scaling rapidly.
The Fleet Operations Team drives uptime and operational performance across Formic's growing fleet of deployed robotic systems. Working inside live manufacturing environments, the team diagnoses issues, restores production, and continuously improves system reliability at scale.
As a Robotics Deployment Project Manager, you will lead end-to-end execution of robotics automation deployments across diverse customer environments. You will own scope alignment, deployment planning, execution oversight, and cross-functional coordination to ensure systems are delivered on time, on budget, and to specification.
Key responsibilities include:
- Lead deployment projects from scope validation through installation and commissioning
- Partner with Applications and Solutions Engineers and third-party integrators to define requirements and validate technical scope
- Develop and manage detailed project plans, timelines, budgets, and risk mitigation strategies
- Monitor project progress and ensure adherence to deadlines, quality standards, and cost targets
- Facilitate resolution of technical, operational, and scheduling issues during deployment
- Coordinate communication across customers, integrators, and internal teams
- Drive structured handoffs from pre-sales through deployment and project close-out
- Contribute to standardization and continuous improvement of internal deployment and project management processes
This role requires strong technical fluency, disciplined project management, and the ability to drive alignment across customers, internal teams, and third-party integrators. You will play a key role in ensuring deployments run smoothly and consistently as Formic scales its robotics fleet.
