Job summary

NODA AI in Austin, TX is seeking a Senior Technical Program Manager for the Autonomy team to own day-to-day coordination across sprints, dependencies, and requirements for autonomy capabilities.

You will translate complex mission needs into actionable engineering requirements, manage Jira workflows, and lead cross-functional ceremonies while collaborating with engineers and program stakeholders; security clearance eligibility is required.

Qualifications

• 8+ years in technical program / project management for software or autonomy teams.
• Mastery of requirement management: intake, refinement, traceability, and change control.
• Hands-on autonomy systems experience: unmanned vehicles, perception, path planning, GNC, or swarm coordination.
• High Jira fluency; able to configure dashboards, workflows and reports.
• Excellent verbal and written communication; translate vision into executable plans.
• Experience standing up and driving adoption of new process framework / operating models.
• U.S. Citizen with the ability to obtain a security clearance for work.

Responsibilities

• Lead requirement intake and refinement sessions for autonomy capabilities (perception, planning, GNC, multi-agent/swarm behaviors), translating product and mission intent into clear, testable, well-scoped engineering requirements and own associated acceptance criteria.
• Maintain requirement traceability from initiative → epic → story → acceptance criteria so every unit of work maps to a stated need and a definition of done.
• Enforce scope discipline through the release cycle; manage changes through an explicit intake and change-control process.
• Keep initiative, epic, and story status current in Jira; own the blocked-initiative log and coordinate with Project Engineers on state transitions.
• Enforce Jira hygiene conventions (fields, labels, components, definition-of-ready/done) so the tool remains a reliable system of record.
• Own and run all Autonomy team sprint ceremonies — planning, standup, review, retro, and backlog refinement — including agenda prep, facilitation, follow-up notes, and action-item tracking.
• Manage cross-team dependencies across Autonomy, Core, Systems, Solutions, and Release Engineering, surfacing and resolving them before issues become a blocker.
• Produce concise, informative and audience relevant technical briefs to drive program forward.
