## About the role

The Senior Technical Program Manager, Platform Software owns program-level execution for software across Waabi's hardware platforms, with a focus on cross-functional integration between physical infrastructure, onboard software, embedded systems, hardware platform and systems engineering teams.

## What they're looking for

- 5+ years of technical program management experience, with a strong focus on cross-functional software integration programs for hardware platforms
- Demonstrated experience working across teams with meaningfully different development cadences (e.g., robotics, autonomous vehicles, industrial automation, IoT, or defense systems)
- Possess a deep understanding of software development lifecycles
- Proven ability to build cross-functional program structure from scratch: dependency maps, risk registries, executive reporting, and milestone tracking
- Strong written and verbal communication. You can write a crisp one-pager for an executive audience and facilitate a working-level dependency review with engineers in the same week
- Experience in autonomous vehicles or robotics
