Lead Technical Program Manager, AI Platform

What the role actually is

Nuro is hiring a lead TPM for the AI Platform organization behind its Level 4 autonomous driving system. The group spans the data flywheel, model training, simulation, evaluation, onboard and offboard systems, cloud services, and fleet tooling.
The role combines TPM team leadership with direct ownership of complex programs that connect autonomy roadmaps to deployment readiness across vehicle platforms and commercial partners.
What you would work on

Lead and coach TPMs supporting Nuro's AI Platform organization
Drive high-priority autonomy platform programs from ambiguous goals to execution plans
Coordinate requirements, interfaces, testing, release gates, and rollout readiness
Partner with engineering, product, operations, external partners, and vehicle manufacturers
Surface dependencies, technical blockers, resource constraints, and cross-team tradeoffs
What they are asking for

Technical program leadership experience with AI, autonomy, robotics, or complex software platforms
Ability to manage teams while personally driving difficult cross-functional programs
Strong judgment around technical dependencies, release readiness, testing, and deployment risk
Comfort operating onsite with engineering, product, operations, and partner teams
Why this one is worth a look

This is a program leadership role at the layer where autonomy research becomes a shippable platform. The interesting part is the breadth: data, training, simulation, evaluation, firmware, cloud services, and fleet operations all have to move together before Nuro can deploy its driver across more vehicle programs.
