Job Details

The Program Management Office (PMO) at Zoox is responsible for driving cross-functional program planning and execution at the highest level. We partner with leaders from across the company in vehicle development, system design, software engineering, manufacturing, fleet operations, and business functions to develop and deliver major corporate milestones on the path to launch and beyond. 
 
Our program managers contribute to the end-to-end success of technical, integrated product milestones involving both of our vehicle platforms - the Toyota Highlander test fleet and Zoox’s purpose-built robotaxi. PMO has teams focusing on AI & Autonomy, Robot Platform Development, Testing & Performance, and Service/Product readiness. All roles are deeply cross-functional, collaborative, and interdisciplinary. 

The Configuration Management Technical Program Manager (TPM) in PMO is an experienced cross-functional program management leader that will be responsible for planning and execution of technical and integrated product milestones for our vehicle platforms. This role is a blend of execution and strategy. This TPM will manage the Configuration Management program end-to-end and will be responsible for the delivery of solutions and roadmap that oversee the architecture and meet the growing business needs. They will work to resolve issues as they arise by clearly identifying the problem, defining potential solutions and executing the chosen path forward. They will work with cross-functional stakeholders and leaders to ensure continuity of infrastructure and process, while we drive changes to configuration management processes and databases. The person must be an effective communicator who can tailor the message to the audience - engineers, middle management, or senior leaders, for progress updates, escalations, and resolution of issues.

In this role you will:

    • Own end to end configuration management program roadmap and deliverables. Partner with a wide range of department managers to translate the top-down corporate strategy and milestones into detailed technical roadmaps, timelines, and deliverables
    • Establish standard reports to provide concise and effective communications to key stakeholders on program status, issues/risks, and accomplishments
    • Define and develop new KPIs and other methods to measure performance that best translate progress towards goals
    • Ensure program goals are aligned with business objectives; build and sustain momentum among cross-functional TPMs and workstreams towards delivering on time and on target
    • Maintain data within the CM document management tools and supporting various configurations in test and service.
    • Maintain a strong technical understanding of our vehicle platforms, software lifecycle, safety clearance process, and test operations

Qualifications

    • BS or MS degree in an engineering discipline or equivalent experience and hands-on experience in Configuration Management in automotive / aerospace product development or similar industry
    • 5+ years of experience in engineering, program management, or management consulting with a focus on product development
    • Success in leading complex cross-functional technical programs from start to finish
    • Comfortable leading through ambiguity and enabling teams to perform in this environment
    • Excellent written, presentation, and verbal communication skills are a must
    • Advanced proficiency in tools such as Jira, Confluence, Smartsheet, Google Suite, Servo, and other config management tools 
    • Integration of tools into pipelines and definition of quality gates
    • On-site presence at our offices in Foster City, CA

A sign-on bonus may be part of a compensation package. Compensation will vary based on geographic location, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.
