Details
We are looking for a technically adept and motivated Principal Carline Program Manager to coordinate the complete implementation of self-driving features for one of our vehicle models. You will partner with engineering, product, system, and validation teams to bring next-generation driving intelligence from concept to production. Ideal for problem-solvers who excel at integrating software, hardware, and vehicle systems in fast-paced environments.
Responsibilities
- Lead the full lifecycle of an autonomous driving program — from definition and prototype to mass-production readiness.
- Coordinate multi-functional engineering teams (software, perception, control, hardware, testing) toward shared milestones.
- Manage schedules, dependencies, and risk across internal and customer programs with transparency and urgency.
- Define and supervise key metrics (velocity, release cadence, validation readiness) to ensure high-quality delivery.
- Act as the single point of accountability for vehicle-line AD feature integration and customer communication.
- Drive issue resolution, escalation, and data-driven decision-making across all stakeholders.
- Continuously refine execution processes to increase development speed and reliability.
Requirements
- BS/MS in Computer Science, Electrical/Mechanical Engineering, Automotive Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience).
- 15+ years of program or project management experience within autonomous driving, ADAS, or intelligent-EV domains.
- Proven success leading cross-functional technical teams and delivering sophisticated systems on aggressive timelines.
- Strong understanding of the autonomous driving software stack: perception, planning, control, compute, and E/E architecture.
- Excellent communication and influencing skills; comfortable operating across global teams and executive levels.
- Solid command of modern project tools: Jira, Confluence, Git, dashboards, or similar.
- Proficient in English; capable of leading cross-region discussions with customers and suppliers.
Ways to Stand Out
- Experience in tech-driven automotive environments.
- Familiarity with high-compute AD platforms (NVIDIA Orin, Qualcomm Ride).
- Background in system integration, simulation, or automated validation.
- Demonstrated ability to scale agile execution frameworks across engineering teams.
- PMP or Scrum Master certification is a plus.
Compensation & Other Details
- Base salary range: 240,000 USD - 379,500 USD (determined based on location, experience, and pay of employees in similar positions).
- Eligible for equity and benefits.
- Applications for this job will be accepted at least until April 17, 2026.
- This posting is for an existing vacancy. NVIDIA uses AI tools in its recruiting processes.
