## About the role

We are seeking a Senior Program Manager to own vehicle configuration and change control: the record of what hardware and software is on every R&D vehicle we operate, and the process governing how it changes. In this role, you will define the configuration data model, the capture path that keeps the record accurate against development assets, and the change processes that enable us to test quickly and effectively.

## What they're looking for

- Demonstrated ownership of a technical program or internal system end to end, from requirements through delivery and sustained adoption by users who were not required to use it
- Experience in environments where physical asset state and software state must be kept reconciled, in autonomous vehicles, automotive, EV, robotics, or aerospace
- Working knowledge of software configuration and release management, including version and build identity, update and flashing paths, parameter and calibration management, and fleet-wide version reporting
- Demonstrated experience designing an operational process and measuring adherence to it, with the ability to describe what was measured and what the results showed
- Strong written communication across requirements, decision records, and status reporting, for technical and executive audiences
- Ability to work onsite five days a week in San Francisco, with regular time in the garage and around machines, and some travel to deployment and test sites
