Transfyr is building physical AI systems for scientific research, capturing real-world experimental execution into machine-readable records. The company has raised $25M in seed funding and is backed by leading advisors including Nobel laureates and former OpenAI leadership.
As Technical Program Manager, you will drive day-to-day execution and delivery of commercial programs and internal initiatives across cross-functional teams including Scientific Operations, AI/ML, software, perception, hardware, and business. You will translate complex technical and commercial goals into clear workstreams, milestones, deliverables, budgets, and success metrics.
Key responsibilities include:
- Designing executable programs with clear deliverables, decision points, and success metrics
- Driving day-to-day delivery by keeping owners aligned and critical work on track across scientific, software, AI/ML, hardware, and operational teams
- Managing technical, resource, budget, schedule, and customer risks early; framing tradeoffs and helping teams resolve them
- Serving as the primary customer interface, building trust through clear communication, accurate documentation, and dependable follow-through
- Developing sufficient technical context across domains to ask useful questions and help experts work together effectively
- Capturing customer needs and program friction as clear requirements that inform product and R&D priorities
- Maintaining plans, decision records, technical documentation, budgets, and program health views
- Helping teams adopt and mature internal systems for running experiments, managing data, and tracking quality
- Building reusable program structures, templates, and operating standards for future deployments
- Supporting scientific execution, hardware testing, data quality, and other urgent work when needed
This is not a passive project-management role. You will learn enough science and technology to ask hard questions, resolve ambiguity, and do hands-on work when it moves the program forward. The role requires in-person presence in Cambridge, MA, with travel to customer and partner sites as needed.
