About the Role
We're looking for a Technical Program Manager (TPM) to drive cross-functional alignment and execution for AI Platform programs at Nuro. This role sits at the intersection of Systems Engineering, Platform, Data Science and Autonomy teams - focused on delivering scalable and reliable verification & validation (V&V) tools that enable systems readiness for driverless deployment.
You'll own the end-to-end lifecycle of systems tooling initiatives: defining requirements, managing priorities, coordinating integration with simulation and autonomy stacks, and ensuring test and validation infrastructure meets the evolving needs of driverless programs.
About You
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, or a related field.
- 5+ years of experience in technical program management, systems engineering, or software development in robotics, automotive, or related technology domains.
- Proven experience leading cross-functional programs involving multiple engineering disciplines (software, hardware, autonomy, or systems).
- Strong understanding of system verification and validation, testing frameworks.
- Demonstrated ability to manage complex dependencies, drive alignment, and communicate effectively across technical and leadership audiences.
- Proficiency with agile program tools (e.g., Jira) and technical documentation platforms (e.g., Confluence).
Bonus Points
- Experience with autonomous systems, vehicle platforms, or robotics simulation environments.
- Familiarity with data and tooling stacks supporting system V&V (e.g., test harnesses, synthetic data generation, regression testing, scenario replay tools).
- Technical depth in Python, C++, or data tooling pipelines sufficient to engage engineers on design trade-offs.
- Prior experience in driverless readiness, safety case validation, or end-to-end system testing.
- Excellent organizational and interpersonal skills, able to balance fast-paced execution with structured process discipline.
