Senior Technical Program Manager - AV Engineering

Required

• You’re technically strong and can work credibly with engineers across software, hardware, machine learning and data. You understand how autonomy systems and their features come together on real vehicles, even if you don’t write production code.
• You think in systems, understanding how changes in one part of the autonomy stack, vehicle platform or delivery plan affect other teams and downstream outcomes.
• You stay objective and adaptable in ambiguous, fast-moving and safety-critical environments, bringing structure and clarity without slowing teams down.
• You communicate clearly, listen carefully and influence effectively without relying on formal authority, bringing people together around shared goals and decisions.
• You’re comfortable defining and using technical and delivery metrics to understand progress, surface gaps and steer programme decisions.
• You’re product-minded and focus on the people and outcomes your programmes serve, prioritising by impact and defining what good looks like rather than simply tracking activity.
• You’re open to feedback and continuously look for ways to improve your own approach, team effectiveness and programme outcomes.
• Experience in robotics, automotive systems, perception, ADAS, vehicle platforms or hardware-software integration would be particularly valuable.
• Exposure to machine learning, autonomy or other compute-heavy or safety-critical domains would also be a plus.
• An engineering or computer science degree, or previous experience working as an engineer, would be valuable.
• 🌱 Not ticking every box? That’s totally okay! If you’re passionate about autonomy and keen to learn, we encourage you to apply even if you don’t meet every requirement.
