Senior Technical Program Manager - Compute and Sensors

The role

You will own the program plan for the next-generation compute and sensor platform in Zoox's autonomous vehicle stack. You will coordinate hardware, embedded software, and systems integration teams to ship on schedule.

What you will do

• Own the end-to-end program plan for next-gen compute and sensor software workstreams, from architecture through production readiness
• Align hardware, firmware, perception, and systems engineering leads on requirements, interfaces, and milestones
• Identify and resolve cross-team dependencies, technical risks, and schedule conflicts
• Build and maintain program schedules, tracking, and executive status reporting
• Facilitate technical trade-offs (performance, power, cost, timeline) and drive decisions to closure
• Establish and evolve program management processes for a hardware-software program

Required qualifications

• BS or MS in computer science, engineering, or equivalent job experience
• 8+ years of technical program management experience
• Track record on programs spanning embedded software and hardware (compute platforms, SoCs, sensors, or similar)
• Strong track record managing complex, long-running, cross-functional projects
• Deep familiarity with software, hardware, or automotive development processes
• Keeps the big picture in focus and communicates clearly and concisely to each audience
• Technical and analytical skills: understands systems and hardware-software interfaces, contributes to architecture docs, strong written and verbal communication, comfortable presenting status and risk
• Strong references showing ability to build relationships with senior leaders and engineers and advance goals without direct authority

Nice to have

• Background in autonomous vehicles, robotics, semiconductors, or automotive systems
