About the Role
We are seeking a Senior Program Manager to own vehicle configuration and change control, defining the configuration data model, capture path, and change processes for efficient testing. This role involves multiple vehicle platforms and requires hands-on time in the garage.
Responsibilities
- Own the record of as-designed, as-built, and as-running configuration for every platform, covering hardware revision and serialization, harness and sensor set, compute generation, calibration state, and firmware and software versions.
- Define the configuration data model, including item and revision structure, effectivity rules, and platform abstractions.
- Define how configuration data is captured at the point of work, ensuring build, modification, service, and software update events update the record through existing technician and engineer tools.
- Own record accuracy as a measured metric, including audit methods and cadence.
- Establish how to determine which properties are eligible for a given software release, test campaign, or data collection mission, and the reason for any vehicle exclusion.
- Define how logged data and test results are tied to the configuration that produced them.
- Partner with software and data teams on how provenance is used in validation and training workflows.
- Define configuration requirements for PLM, ERP, MES, and inventory systems.
- Own the integration design between enterprise systems and the configuration record.
- Partner with vehicle integration, manufacturing and technician teams, autonomy and software release, safety, supply chain, and operations.
- Resolve conflicting requirements across cross-functional teams.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in engineering, computer science, or a related technical field, or equivalent hands-on experience.
- 3+ years in technical program management, technical product management, engineering program management, or a comparable role.
- Demonstrated ownership of a technical program or internal system end to end, from requirements through delivery and sustained adoption.
- Experience in environments where physical asset state and software state must be kept reconciled (e.g., autonomous vehicles, automotive, EV, robotics, aerospace).
- Working knowledge of engineering change and configuration management, including BOM structure and revision control, ECR and ECO workflow, effectivity, serialization and genealogy, and as-designed to as-built reconciliation.
- Working knowledge of software configuration and release management, including version and build identity, update and flashing paths, parameter and calibration management, and fleet-wide version reporting.
- Demonstrated experience designing an operational process and measuring adherence to it.
- Ability to describe measured results and their implications.
- Strong written communication skills for technical and executive audiences.
- Ability to work onsite five days a week in San Francisco.
- Regular time in the garage and around machines.
- Some travel to deployment and test sites.
