Senior Technical Program Manager - Vehicle Platform & Autonomy Integration

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 lead the integration effort that brings together perception, planning, controls, simulation, and vehicle platform teams into a single coherent release. You'll be the connective tissue across the autonomy stack, driving the program from architecture and integration milestones through on-road validation and readiness for deployment.

You'll own program strategy, execution, and risk management across hardware, embedded software, and systems integration teams, working closely with hardware engineering, PMO, perception, and platform software groups to ship on schedule. In this role, you will: Own the integration roadmap for the Vehicle autonomy platform, coordinating across perception, motion planning, controls, simulation, and vehicle software teams.

Drive cross-team milestone planning, dependency mapping, and risk tracking for a program with many interlocking software subsystems. Partner with autonomy engineering and safety teams to define integration test plans, validation gates, and readiness criteria for on-road deployment. Run regular program syncs, milestone reviews, and executive readouts; translate technical status into clear risk/impact narratives for leadership.

Anticipate integration risks (interface mismatches, regression risk, simulation-to-real-world gaps) and drive mitigation plans with engineering owners. Support release planning and coordination with safety, release management, and field operations teams as needed for Vehicle platform deployment. Continuously improve integration processes as the platform and org scale.
