About the role
We're looking for a Senior Technical Program Manager to own performance and release for the autonomy stack that runs across our L2+ passenger vehicle, L4 truck, and mining vehicle programs.
You'll sit at the center of the stack's engineering leadership, turning system health into release decisions, and coordinating those releases across every downstream team building on top of it.
At Applied Intuition, you will:
Performance measurement: Define and own how we measure and forecast the stack's reliability, so leadership knows not just where we stand today but where we're headed.
Release ownership: Drive the stack's release cycle end to end - coordinate how the Core team ship to multiple vertical projects, and manage expectations with downstream teams.
Prioritization: Identify the key projects to improve the driving performance with engineering leads, and unblock the execution
Reporting: Build the reporting that gives engineering and customer-facing teams a clear, shared view of performance and release status.
We're looking for someone who has:
Background in autonomy, robotics, or ML
3+ years of experience in technical program management, engineering, or a related field
The ability to context switch effectively across multiple projects
Willing to operate without a fixed lane - making the product call one day, running the analysis or building the dashboard the next
Bachelors, Masters or PhD degree in any field, or equivalent combination of education and work experience.
Compensation at Applied Intuition for eligible roles includes base salary, equity, and benefits. Base salary is a single component of the total compensation package, which may also include equity in the form of options and/or restricted stock units, comprehensive health, dental, vision, life and disability insurance coverage, 401k retirement benefits with employer match, learning and wellness stipends, and paid time off.
