About The Position

Applied Intuition is looking for a Senior Technical Program Manager to own performance and release for the autonomy stack that runs across their L2+ passenger vehicle, L4 truck, and mining vehicle programs. The role involves being at the center of the stack's engineering leadership, making system health into release decisions, and coordinating those releases across every downstream team building on top of it. The company is described as powering the future of physical AI, creating digital infrastructure for moving machines, and serving industries like automotive, defense, trucking, construction, mining, and agriculture.

Requirements

Background in autonomy, robotics, or ML
3+ years of experience in technical program management, engineering, or a related field
The ability to context switch effectively across multiple projects
Willing to operate without a fixed lane - making the product call one day, running the analysis or building the dashboard the next

Responsibilities

Define and own how we measure and forecast the stack's reliability, so leadership knows not just where we stand today but where we're headed.
Drive the stack's release cycle end to end - coordinate how the Core team ship to multiple vertical projects, and manage expectations with downstream teams.
Identify the key projects to improve the driving performance with engineering leads, and unblock the execution.
Build the reporting that gives engineering and customer-facing teams a clear, shared view of performance and release status.
