Senior Technical Program Manager - Vehicle Platform & Autonomy Integration

Experteer Overview Join Zoox to lead the integration of perception, planning, controls, simulation, and vehicle software into a single release for autonomous mobility. You will coordinate across hardware and software teams to drive architecture, milestones, and on-road readiness, ensuring a cohesive, safe deployment. You’ll manage risks, expectations, and schedules while partnering with autonomy, safety, and PMO groups. This role blends systems thinking with hands-on program execution in a fast-moving, safety-critical environment. You will shape how the autonomy stack ships to customers with cross-team collaboration and structured processes. Compensation / Benefits * Own the integration roadmap for the Vehicle autonomy platform across perception, motion planning, controls, simulation, and vehicle software teams * Drive cross-team milestone planning, dependency mapping, and risk tracking for a multi-subsystem program * Partner with autonomy engineering and safety teams to define integration test plans, validation gates, and readiness criteria for on-road deployment * Run regular program syncs, milestone reviews, and executive readouts; translate technical status into risk/impact narratives * Anticipate integration risks (interface mismatches, regression risk, simulation-to-real-world gaps) and drive mitigation plans with owners * Support release planning and coordination with safety, release management, and field operations teams for deployment * Continuously improve integration processes as the platform and organization scale * Establish and evolve program management processes (cadences, milestone reviews, launch readiness) for a fast-moving hardware-software program Tasks * 8+ years of technical program management experience on complex software integration programs (autonomy, robotics, safety-critical systems, or large-scale distributed software) * Solid technical grounding in software systems; comfortable with architecture discussions across perception, planning/controls, or similar autonomy subsystems * Experience managing multi-team integration programs with heavy interdependencies and evolving requirements * Strong stakeholder management; able to align engineering, safety, and leadership around a shared plan * Sharp written/verbal communication and a structured approach to risk and schedule management Key requirements * paid time off (sick leave, vacation, bereavement) * unpaid time off * Zoox Stock Appreciation Rights * Amazon RSUs * health insurance * long-term care insurance? (explicit text mentions) long-term and short-term disability insurance, life insurance
