Job description

What the role actually is

Nuro is hiring a senior TPM to run AI Platform programs tied to performance and reliability. The role connects systems engineering, platform, data science, simulation, validation tooling, and autonomy teams.

This is program leadership for the infrastructure that gates driverless readiness: reliability metrics, verification and validation tools, priorities, integration, and execution across teams.

What you would work on

• Own AI platform programs that support driverless verification and validation
• Coordinate reliability metrics, simulation needs, and autonomy stack integration
• Define requirements and manage priorities for systems tooling initiatives
• Align platform, data science, systems engineering, and autonomy teams

What they are asking for

• Senior technical program management experience with complex AI or platform systems
• Ability to drive cross-functional execution across engineering and science teams
• Comfort with validation, reliability, simulation, or autonomy tooling
• Product judgment around infrastructure that affects deployment readiness

Why this one is worth a look

Autonomy product work depends on the boring but critical question of when a system is ready. This role is interesting because it owns the program layer between model capability, validation infrastructure, and real driverless deployment.
