Senior Technical Program Manager - Vehicle Platform & Autonomy Integration

In this role, you will

• Own the integration roadmap for the Vehicle autonomy platform, coordinating across perception, motion planning, controls, simulation, and vehicle software teams.
• Drive cross-team milestone planning, dependency mapping, and risk tracking for a program with many interlocking software subsystems.
• Partner with autonomy engineering and safety teams to define integration test plans, validation gates, and readiness criteria for on-road deployment.
• Run regular program syncs, milestone reviews, and executive readouts; translate technical status into clear risk/impact narratives for leadership.
• Anticipate integration risks (interface mismatches, regression risk, simulation-to-real-world gaps) and drive mitigation plans with engineering owners.
• Support release planning and coordination with safety, release management, and field operations teams as needed for Vehicle platform deployment.
• Continuously improve integration processes as the platform and org scale.
• Establish and evolve program management processes (planning cadences, milestone reviews, launch readiness criteria) for a fast-moving hardware-software program.

Qualifications

• BS or MS degree in computer science, engineering or equivalent job experience
• 8+ years of technical program management experience, ideally on complex software integration programs (autonomy, robotics, safety-critical systems, or large-scale distributed software).
• Solid technical grounding in software systems — comfortable with architecture discussions across perception, planning/controls, or similar autonomy subsystems.
• Experience managing multi-team integration programs with heavy interdependencies and evolving requirements.
• Strong stakeholder management skills; able to align engineering, safety, and leadership around a shared plan.
• Sharp written/verbal communication and a structured approach to risk and schedule management.

Bonus Qualifications

• Experience in autonomous vehicles, ADAS, robotics, or safety-critical software systems strongly preferred.
