The Autonomous Vehicles (AV) team is searching for a highly motivated, highly technical Program Manager to define and build the future of NVIDIA's self-driving software. Our mission is to build and scale self-driving technology at light speed – from L2 driving to L4 robotaxis. We work with multiple OEM partners globally, and our software will be used by millions of customers worldwide. If this sounds like an exciting challenge, read on!

In this role, you will be responsible for the product life cycle and safety aspect of NVIDIA's stack. You will need to deeply understand how NVIDIA delivers and implements ISO 26262. Your role includes tracking the execution across the entire program to ensure delivery timelines can be met and continuously improving execution processes. You will work closely with developers and safety engineers to deliver the best technology solutions for these problems. Ultimately you will ensure our products can actually be released, making the future of self driving vehicles a reality.

What you'll be doing:

• Collaborate closely with experts in safety engineering to gain a comprehensive grasp of the full set of expectations for the next release holistically and for each team.

• Interact directly with and support engineers and engineering leads to meet the safety goals on time.

• Coordinate and collaborate with teams and internal customers to deliver those roadmaps: communicate and resolve bottlenecks, address issues, and measure outcomes.

• Develop a deep technical understanding of your area of ownership, and to proactively identify areas of improvement and investment, influencing technical direction.

• Escalating technical, resource and compliance risks across the product teams with mitigation plans.

• Engaging with internal teams to root cause workflow/tooling bottlenecks to direct problems to the appropriate engineering teams for resolution.

• Work collaboratively with other technical product managers and technical leads to understand the sophisticated self-driving problems we are solving, and to break down these problems into a solution with prioritized technical requirements.

What we need to see:

• Driven, hands on, leader with strong skills in communication, influencing, and multi-functional team building across time zones.

• Creative problem solver who can handle ambiguous situations, reach consensus, and make decisions.

• Execution focus, with experience bringing new and innovative products and technologies into reality.

• 12+ years of recent Product or Program Management experience.

• BS/MS Computer Science, Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience).

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

• Relevant domain knowledge/experience (ISO 26262, Product Life Cycle).

• Experience in a fast-paced AI company or Autonomous Vehicle company.

• Showing you always strive to learn new things, are motivated to tackle hard problems, and that you care about the end product.

• Ability to support software engineers on a technical level.
