Senior Software Technical Program Manager, Nuro

• 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, or simulation infrastructure
• Demonstrated ability to manage complex dependencies, drive alignment, and communicate effectively across technical and leadership audiences
• Proficiency with agile program tools (e.g., Jira, Asana) and technical documentation platforms (e.g., Confluence)

Desirable

• We’re looking for a Technical Program Manager (TPM) to drive cross-functional alignment and execution for Systems Tooling programs at Nuro
• This role sits at the intersection of Systems Engineering, Platform, Simulation, 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
• You’ll play a key role in ensuring Nuro’s driverless systems meet the highest standards of reliability and safety by empowering engineers with world-class tooling and validation infrastructure that bridges autonomy innovation and on-road deployment
• Lead technical program execution for systems V&V tooling, ensuring milestones, dependencies, and deliverables are met toward driverless readiness
• Serve as the primary interface between AI Platform, Simulation, Systems, and Autonomy teams to ensure consistent tooling integration and data pipelines
• Translate high-level systems verification needs into concrete tooling requirements across perception, planning, control, and safety validation workflows
• Build and maintain detailed execution plans; track progress, risks, and metrics using internal tools (e.g., Asana, Confluence, custom dashboards)
• Partner with systems and simulation engineers to evolve infrastructure supporting model validation, synthetic data, test orchestration, and automation at scale
• Drive validation tool readiness reviews and ensure the V&V tooling stack meets regulatory and internal safety certification standards for driverless operations
• Provide regular program updates, decision docs, and risk assessments to technical and leadership stakeholders
• Identify bottlenecks in tooling workflows and implement improvements to accelerate system validation cycles
