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.
