Technical Program Manager
Technical Program Manager responsible for managing complex autonomous mining and construction customer projects, including hardware/software deployment, sprint planning, documentation, and cross-functional coordination to meet delivery milestones. Requires 3-5 years in TPM or engineering, strong organizational skills, and technical fluency; experience in heavy industry or autonomy is a plus.
About the job
Responsibilities
- Manage hardware and software stack deployment and autonomy system commissioning activities across customer mining and construction sites globally.
- Own and manage multiple concurrent mining autonomy customer engagements, ensuring all workstreams are progressing toward contractual obligations and delivery milestones.
- Define and scope bi-weekly sprint goals across customer projects, maintaining rigorous documentation of deliverables and task traceability in tools like Jira and Confluence.
- Serve as the operational backbone for customer engagements — keeping the right people in the right meetings, maintaining workstream hygiene, and ensuring nothing falls through the cracks.
- Collaborate closely with software engineers, workstream leads, customer engineering teams, and business development to drive progress on mining autonomy deployments.
- Collaborate with customers to integrate and deliver mining autonomy solutions, coordinating across hardware and software teams to hit aggressive timelines.
- Identify and implement AI-driven improvements to sprint workflows, reducing manual overhead and increasing team velocity.
Requirements
- 3–5 years of experience in technical program management, engineering, or a related field; candidates with a software engineering background transitioning into TPM are welcome.
- Demonstrated ability to manage multiple complex customer projects simultaneously without losing attention to detail.
- Experience with program management tools and methodologies (e.g., Jira, Confluence, Google Drive, sprint planning).
- Enough technical fluency to follow engineering discussions, parse software scoping tasks, and contribute meaningfully to sprint planning — coding experience is not required.
- Strong organizational skills and a high bar for documentation hygiene across all customer deliverables.
- A positive, adaptable attitude with the ability to context-switch quickly across customers and workstreams.
Nice-to-Haves
- Experience in mining, construction, or other heavy industry environments.
- Familiarity with autonomous systems or robotics programs.
- Comfort using AI tools (e.g., Cursor, Claude) to automate or streamline workflows.
