About the role

Technical Program Manager to drive execution of global autonomous trucking programs, owning milestones for OEM engagements, leading launches at new sites/routes, and coordinating across engineering, operations, and customer teams.

Responsibilities

  • Own program milestones end to end for strategic trucking engagements with global truck OEMs - building the integrated schedule, tracking dependencies across teams, and holding the organization to committed dates.
  • Lead new operational launches, including bringing up autonomous trucking operations at new sites and routes. Build the launch plan and sequence work across facilities, fleet, safety, engineering, and local operations through to first revenue miles.
  • Surface and resolve risk early. Identify gaps before they become slips, drive blockers to resolution, and make trade-offs visible to decision-makers.
  • Be the source of truth on program status for both working teams and executives - translate technical detail into actionable decisions.
  • Work directly with OEM customers and stakeholders to pin down use cases, clarify requirements, and unblock technical challenges across hardware, software, safety, and operations.
  • Implement operating practices that scale, so future site launches require less in-person involvement.
  • Support business development by contributing to technical proposals and RFQ responses and hosting technology demonstrations for customer and executive audiences.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in a STEM field or equivalent experience.
  • 5+ years of program or project management experience on advanced software, robotics, or autonomous vehicle programs (ADAS or L4 autonomy), including ownership of hard external deadlines.
  • Demonstrated ownership of a program launch or operational bring-up - a new site, facility, fleet, route, or region - from plan through steady state.
  • Track record running programs across distributed teams, sites, and time zones.
  • Ability to get deep into technical detail: systems-level understanding of hardware, software, and field operations to challenge a schedule.
  • Communication skills that work with engineers and OEM executives.
  • Willingness to travel internationally to customer and operational sites.
