Staff Technical Program Manager, System & Architecture, Data Collection
Hybrid: This role is categorized as hybrid. This means the successful candidate is expected to report to the Technical Innovation Center in Mountain View, CA three times per week, at minimum.
The Role
We are seeking a Staff Technical Program Manager to lead the data collection vehicle strategy and execution for our Autonomous Driving Program. This role is instrumental in building the bridge between early system architecture and full-stack development, with a focus on delivering high-fidelity data to accelerate perception, planning, and operations software development.
In this highly cross-functional role, you’ll own the end-to-end lifecycle of data collection—from architecture decisions and vehicle build/bring-up, to field deployment, data labeling, and iteration—all while aligning with multiple technical and operational stakeholders. This is a unique opportunity to lead a foundational program within a fast-paced autonomy initiative at enterprise scale.
What You’ll Do
-
Own the roadmap and execution for data collection vehicles supporting the autonomy software stack.
-
Partner cross-functionally with system architects, hardware and software TPMs, perception leads, and operational teams to ensure program alignment.
-
Drive vehicle build and bring-up processes to support data collection requirements, including hardware/software integration and instrumentation.
-
Define and track KPIs, program metrics, and validation milestones to ensure data quality and timely delivery for ML development.
-
Coordinate data workflows: from raw capture, labeling, and ingestion, through iterative perception and system development cycles.
-
Proactively identify risks and blockers across hardware, software, and operations—and drive mitigation plans in real time.
-
Lead program reviews with technical and executive stakeholders and external partners.
-
Ensure field drivers, fleet operations, and infrastructure are aligned to meet daily collection targets and system iteration needs.
-
Travel at least 1x per quarter.
