Senior Technical Program Manager - Compute and Sensors

Zoox has embarked on a highly ambitious journey to develop a full-stack autonomous mobility solution for our cities. We’re looking for a technical program manager to drive cross-functional programs delivering our next-generation compute platform and sensor architecture — the hardware and software backbone of our autonomous vehicle stack. You'll own program strategy, execution, and risk management across hardware, embedded software, and systems integration teams, working closely with hardware engineering, perception, and platform software groups to ship on schedule.

In this role, you will: Own the end-to-end program plan for next-gen compute and sensor software workstreams, from architecture definition through bring-up, validation, and production readiness. Partner with hardware, firmware, perception, and systems engineering leads to align on requirements, interfaces, and milestones across the compute/sensor stack.

Identify and drive resolution of cross-team dependencies, technical risks, and schedule conflicts before they become blockers. Build and maintain program schedules, tracking mechanisms, and executive-level status reporting. Facilitate technical trade-off discussions (performance, power, cost, timeline) and drive decisions to closure with engineering leadership.

Establish and evolve program management processes (planning cadences, milestone reviews, launch readiness criteria) for a fast-moving hardware-software program
