Full Job Posting
In this role, you will:
Own the end-to-end program plan for next-gen compute and sensor software workstreams, from architecture definition through bring-up, validation, and production readiness.
Partner with hardware, firmware, perception, and systems engineering leads to align on requirements, interfaces, and milestones across the compute/sensor stack.
Identify and drive resolution of cross-team dependencies, technical risks, and schedule conflicts before they become blockers.
Build and maintain program schedules, tracking mechanisms, and executive-level status reporting.
Facilitate technical trade-off discussions (performance, power, cost, timeline) and drive decisions to closure with engineering leadership.
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, with a track record on programs spanning embedded software and hardware (compute platforms, SoCs, sensors, or similar)
- Strong track record of managing complex, long-running, cross-functional projects
- Deep familiarity with software, hardware, or automotive development processes
- An ability to keep the big picture in focus and to provide clear, well-structured, and concise communications tailored to each appropriate audience
- Strong Technical and Analytical Skills: Ability to contribute to architecture/methodology docs, understand systems/hardware-software interfaces, excellent written and verbal communication; comfortable presenting program status and risk to senior leadership
- Strong references that highlight your ability to build strong working relationships with senior leaders and engineers across functions and departments and to advance your goals without having direct authority
Bonus Qualifications
Background in autonomous vehicles, robotics, semiconductors, or automotive systems is a strong plus.
