Senior Technical Program Manager – Autonomy

This role sits at the center of NODA's growing Technical Program Management function, and strong performers can grow in one of three directions:

Senior TPM leadership. Progress into Staff and then Principal TPM, taking on ownership of the operating model across multiple engineering teams rather than a single team. At this level you're setting requirement management and Jira governance standards org-wide, managing a team of TPMs, and advising engineering and company leadership on program health and delivery risk.

Mission Lead. Move into a role embedded directly with operators and government/commercial customers, translating field feedback and mission needs into engineering requirements. This path trades internal ceremony ownership for direct customer relationship management, on-site deployments, and being the voice of the mission back into the engineering roadmap.

Product Management. Transition into a Product Manager role, moving from executing against defined requirements to defining the roadmap and prioritization strategy itself. This path leans on the requirement-writing and stakeholder-translation skills built in this role, extended into market and customer strategy, competitive positioning, and longer-horizon product bets.

Export Control Compliance To conform to U.S. government export control regulations, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and Export Administration Regulations (EAR), you must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident of the U.S., protected individual as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3), or otherwise eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State or U.S. Department of Commerce.
