Are you passionate about autonomous driving technology and ready to take on an exciting challenge? Join NVIDIA as a Senior Technical Program Manager for Automotive Autonomous Driving and shape the future of mobility!

What you'll be doing:

• Lead and take full accountability for the prioritization, planning, and end-to-end management of large-scale scaling tests for autonomous vehicle projects, owning the test team’s overall test schedule arrangement and execution oversight for large-scale testing initiatives.

• Conduct streamlined driving data processing for large-scale testing, complete root cause analysis of test issues, deliver key performance assessments, and make definitive software release judgments based on large-scale test results.

• Collaborate cross-functionally with technical and engineering teams to resolve critical issues in large-scale testing and project delivery, driving the implementation of targeted solutions and the optimization of cross-project large-scale test processes.

• Oversee and govern all large-scale scaling test activities, conduct systematic categorization of test events, and escalate critical issues as required; monitor core quality metrics and trending risks of large-scale testing to ensure sustained optimization of AV software quality.

• Partner closely with engineering, quality, operations, and mapping teams to clarify cross-functional demands for large-scale testing projects, and develop integrated, executable test plans and project promotion schedules.

• Lead, manage and develop the test team, provide professional training and mentorship for contract testers and junior test colleagues, and build the team’s core capability in large-scale testing management and project execution.

What we need to see:

• Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech.) or equivalent in CS/CE/IT/ECE/EEE or related fields, with 6+ years of experience in automotive engineering, driving function test management, test process building, or automotive testing tool development.

• Hands-on mass production rollout experience of highway/urban ADAS driving functions for city-scale expansion across multiple vehicle lines; proven track record of participating in at least one mass-produced autonomous driving project (driving scenario-focused) with industry-leading large-scale test delivery results.

• Delivery- and results-oriented professional with a passion for automotive product launch; exceptional large-scale driving test program management capabilities, including strong multi-tasking, stakeholder influence, cross-functional communication, presentation, consensus-building, and test team development skills.

• Basic experience in test data analysis and driving test issue triage, proficient in mainstream test data analysis & visualization tools (SQL, Tableau) to support data-driven large-scale driving test decision-making and issue resolution.

• Rich practical on-vehicle driving test experience, valid professional driving skills, and systematic professional understanding of autonomous driving function testing logic, large-scale test scenario design, and test standard formulation.

• Strong strategic and tactical thinking, with a demonstrated history of aligning cross-functional stakeholders to deliver successful automotive driving test programs; proven ability to creatively resolve technical challenges and resource conflicts in large-scale driving test projects.

• Familiar with agile software development methodologies, and proficient in agile test management tools (e.g., JIRA, DOORS, Jama) for end-to-end driving test process tracking, test requirement management, and large-scale test project delivery.

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

• Strong strategic and tactical thinking, with a demonstrated history of aligning cross-functional stakeholders to deliver successful automotive driving test programs; proven ability to creatively resolve technical challenges and resource conflicts in large-scale driving test projects.

• Excellent presentation and leadership communication skills: capable of demoing driving function test features, compiling clear and concise technical summaries/reports, and driving cross-team alignment on large-scale driving test process improvements and project objectives.

• Fluent in English (both written and spoken) for daily work communication; willing to accept overseas business trips to support global large-scale driving test project collaboration.
