Senior Technical Program Manager - Compute and Sensors

Responsibilities

• Own the end-to-end program plan for next-generation 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 requirements, interfaces, and milestones across the compute and sensor stack.
• Identify and resolve 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 involving performance, power, cost, and timeline, driving decisions to closure with engineering leadership.
• Establish and evolve program management processes, including planning cadences, milestone reviews, and launch-readiness criteria, for fast-moving hardware-software programs.

Requirements

• Bachelor's or master's degree in computer science, engineering, or equivalent experience.
• 8+ years of technical program management experience, including programs spanning embedded software and hardware such as compute platforms, SoCs, or sensors.
• Proven ability to manage complex, long-running, cross-functional projects.
• Deep familiarity with software, hardware, or automotive development processes.
• Ability to maintain the big-picture perspective and provide clear, structured, concise communications tailored to the audience.
• Strong technical and analytical skills, including the ability to contribute to architecture and methodology documentation and understand systems and hardware-software interfaces.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with comfort presenting program status and risks to senior leadership.
• Strong relationship-building skills with senior leaders and engineers across functions, and the ability to advance goals without direct authority.

Nice to Have

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