About the role
Location: Foster City, CA
Responsibilities
• Own the delivery status of specific attribute roadmap milestones. You ensure that “on track” is a reality, not just a status color, by identifying and clearing blockers before they stall progress.
• Work 1:1 with engineering and test leads to surface local execution risks — such as vehicle downtime, instrumentation delays, or hardware shortages — and implement immediate recovery plans.
• Run, maintain, and continuously improve our JIRA structures, sprint cadences, and reporting rituals. Your goal is to create a system that allows engineers to focus on engineering while self-coordinating through your framework.
• Manage and disposition all cross-functional requests, ensuring dependencies between stakeholders are clearly defined and closed.
• Translate moving targets and technical complexities into concise, actionable updates for leadership.
Qualifications
• 2+ years of experience in project management and a Bachelor’s in Business, Communications, Engineering, or a related field.
• Experience with resource management software (e.g., JIRA) to develop project plans and track asset availability against timelines.
• Successful track record of delivering multiple complex automotive technical projects in parallel.
• High degree of understanding of vehicle testing and development. You should understand system interactions and dependencies.
• Familiarity with prototype or pre-production vehicle testing and development.
• Expert-level ability to structure boards, workflows, and dashboards that provide real-time visibility into project health without creating “admin debt” for engineers.
• A “closer” mentality with a high sense of ownership. You are known for closing loops without supervision and preventing scope creep in fast-moving environments.
• Calm under pressure, concise in communication, and capable of synthesizing shifting priorities into a clear path forward.
Bonus Qualifications
• Background in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field.
• Experience in a startup or high-growth “execution-first” environment.
• Familiarity with vehicle development cycles and prototype hardware management.
• Experience with autonomous vehicle platforms and software development.
Salary Range
• $110,000-130,000
• The actual salary offered is dependent on various factors including, but not limited to, location, the candidate’s combination of job-related knowledge, qualifications, skills, education, training, and experience
