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.
  • 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).
  • Experience with autonomous systems, vehicle platforms, or robotics simulation environments.
  • Familiarity with data and tooling stacks supporting system V&V (e.g., test harnesses, synthetic data generation, regression testing, scenario replay tools).
  • Technical depth in Python, C++, or data tooling pipelines sufficient to engage engineers on design trade-offs.
  • Prior experience in driverless readiness, safety case validation, or end-to-end system testing.
  • Excellent organizational and interpersonal skills, able to balance fast-paced execution with structured process discipline.
  • This position is also eligible for an annual performance bonus, equity, and a competitive benefits package.
