This is an explanation of this module that will only be visible on the cms guide and in the content editor in the admin.
This module is a marker to work in conjunction with the "In Page Navigation Links" Section/module.
To demonstrate the function of this, on the CMS guide, please find "In Page Navigation - Section (add new)" and click on "Link 1". Doing so should have scrolled the page down to this section.
How this works:
- Please note the identifier field of this module in the CMS admin (it will not be visible on the CMS guide)
- By default, it should be "example"
- Go to "In Page Navigation - Section (add new)" in the CMS admin
- Click in the middle of "Link 1" (in between "i" and n", for example) and then find "insert/edit link" from the buttons above the editor.
- Click on "insert/edit link"
- Note that "Link 1" has a "url" field of "#example"
- As long as each link/marker pair has a matching url/link (url for links, identifier for the markers). The modules should be set up correctly.
- Note that links must have a "#" at the front of each url in order for the modules to work. For example, a marker with an identifier field that has "product" must have a matching link with a url field that has "#product" in order for the in page navigation to work.

Our PMO team is home to the dedicated people chartering the course for iRobot programs from cradle to grave. As a member of this team, you’ll collaborate across the organization, removing obstacles to our ongoing success and empowering our technical teams to excel.
About the Team
It’s not often that you come across a company where Program Managers effortlessly blend technical expertise, logistical oversight, and extensive collaboration—but that’s exactly what you’ll find at iRobot. Since most members started as an engineer, we’re able to “stay technical” while providing insight to leadership.
What You'll Work On
As a Program Manager, you'll lead the delivery of the next generation of robotic systems. You may also troubleshoot to maintain high-quality standards for our existing fleet and contribute to advanced development, conceptualizing future robotic system enhancements.
A Day in the Life
No two days are the same with PMO. One day you’re brainstorming with engineers, the next you’re coming up with an operating budget, and the next you’re troubleshooting supply chains and more!
The Best Part of the Job
You’ll really get the best of both worlds on this team! PMO remains deeply engaged with the technical aspects of our programs while delivering business results and reporting for the rest of the enterprise.
I first noticed iRobot passing by on the highway, and it became my top choice for an internship during college. Joining the DAE team, I found the perfect fit, collaborating with talented engineers from various disciplines to shape the next generation of home robots. In our department, we work together to ensure our products make users' lives easier, rigorously testing to address issues before they reach the customer. Over my 6-year journey here, I've developed into a well-rounded engineer, thanks to supportive mentors and a collaborative culture. iRobot not only provides valuable corporate experience but also fosters a workplace where everyone is willing to contribute and help each other succeed. Excited for the future at iRobot!

We foster an environment where each member is eager to contribute and help drive projects to successful completion. This culture of collaboration has cultivated a tight-knit and highly productive team capable of meeting any challenge.
I was attracted to join iRobot because I love iRobot’s products and I especially love being able to use my team’s work to guide our future products. The purpose of User Testing at iRobot is to test and validate new products and features with employees and external testers. It’s really cool to not only see how much people love our products, but also get their feedback to help shape our products. In meetings, I feel like I am always free to share my thoughts and opinions and all my team members listen with an open mind.
