TEAM
The AD/ADAS Technical Program Management Team’s goal is to enable the successful delivery of technology from the engineering organization to achieve business goals. The TPM function in WbyT’s AD/ADAS organization is a partner to the Engineering and Product functions and owns the technical execution of the AD/ADAS portfolio maintaining the organization’s plan of record and ensuring execution velocity and agility of a highly cross functional engineering team distributed across multiple locations.

The TPMs in the team come from a mix of hardware, vehicle, and software backgrounds but we all share a common drive to enable the delivery of complex technical engineering products to the world. We are problem solvers who make things happen by setting and communicating clear goals and supporting engineering teams to deliver the best safety critical autonomy through the technical and organizational complexity.

WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

For this position, we are looking for a TPM to expand the team capacity to tackle the complexity of our growing autonomy program portfolio and maintain the highest standard of execution rigor within the engineering organization. You will be responsible for end-to-end delivery of one of our key programs contributing to the overall AD/ADAS product, in close collaboration with engineering and product leadership.

You should be highly motivated by the challenge of shipping complex technology programs to market, solving interdisciplinary problems with a strong focus on execution. You excel in navigating ambiguity and driving engineering teams through it by establishing structure and frameworks. The role requires deep technical expertise to directly shape and mitigate risks in technical execution, coupled with a genuine interest in solving organizational complexity that comes from the human dimension.

The position requires a passion for contributing to the TPM practice. You'll be working closely with other TPMs to foster a safe and inclusive environment, to continuously improve and expand the TPM tools and frameworks, and enable and scale cross-functional collaboration across the entire AD/ADAS organization.
