Senior Technical Program ManagerThe Senior Technical Program Manager will lead cross-functional teams on v0/v1 products through the product development process. They will drive and motivate a cross-functional team to deliver sensor and camera sub-systems and cross functionally manage other internal team members. They manage internal algorithm and software development schedules, and are responsible for coordinating and planning engineering builds at the supplier(s) and driving the configuration management deliverables to ensure the timely release of assemblies to production.

Expect the candidate to lead adoption, deprecation and enhancement of mechanisms with high impact across the organization. The high level of ambiguity on these programs requires a flexible approach to program management combined with strong judgment.

Key job responsibilities include prioritizing well, communicating and articulating effectively in order to influence leadership direction on programs. They will need to lead the cross-functional team efficiently, provide guidance and leadership to meet schedules, specifications and quality. They will also lead the core team through program milestones and critical one and two-way door decision points on programs. They should be able to manage many technical and program-level discussions with minimal engagement from subject matter experts.

A day in the life for hardware engagements involves driving modules to builds by working with vendors and hardware core teams to meet system level build schedules. For software engagements, you may be driving technology direction with science and software teams. You may run other cross-org mechanisms, audit existing mechanisms, and mentor junior technical program managers in the organization. Partner and interact with the core team which includes engineering, GCM, ops engineering, SQM, and reliability team members to support the system core team device level builds at the contract manufacturers (CM). For software engagements this will extend to applied science and software teams.
