Technical Program Manager – Autonomous Vehicles Map Team

Join us to define the future of autonomous driving through technology—and leave a lasting, meaningful impact on the world. We are seeking a determined, product-focused Senior Technical Program Manager to help compose and build our global-scale crowdsourced mapping product. This map acts as the spatio-temporal foundation for on-vehicle driving models, enabling autonomous vehicles (AVs) to steadily improve performance on frequently traveled routes. You will join our dynamic, fast-paced AV organization, where we develop technologies that power everything from driver assistance to full “hands-off, mind-off” autonomous driving capabilities.

Are you ready to manage complex technical systems that deliver true self-driving capabilities to users? In this role, you will lead the effort by working closely with crowdsourced mapping software teams. You will communicate effectively across the AV ecosystem and partner with cross-functional groups, customers, and vendors.

What You Will Be Doing:

• Collaborate directly with engineering teams to solve critical problems, refine clear product goals, and develop and drive actionable plans and roadmaps to achieve them.

• Work across multiple teams to drive and optimize cross-team operations and execution, improving overall team velocity.

• Coordinate with partner teams and internal collaborators to resolve bottlenecks, address key issues, and keep projects on track.

• Proactively communicate project progress to engineering, operations, and product teams, and coordinate the resolution of critical issues.

What We Need to See:

• 5+ years of technical product and/or program management experience on complex, large-scale programs in the field of autonomous driving.

• Having mass production experience in rolling out highway/urban ADAS functions (both HD and SD) for city expansion across multiple carlines.

• A dedicated professional passionate about product delivery, with strong skills in multitasking, partner influence, communication, presentation, consensus-building, and cross-functional team development.

• Experience in new product introduction, program management for R&D initiatives, and leading engineering teams.

• Ability to think both strategically and tactically, with a history of gaining agreement to deliver successful programs.

• Demonstrated capacity to think creatively to resolve technical challenges and resource conflicts.

• A proven history of excellence in product/program management within dynamic, fast-paced organizations.

• Passion for and experience with product development processes and methodologies.

• Familiarity with agile software development methodologies and tools (e.g., JIRA, JAMA).

• Bachelor’s degree or Master’s degree or equivalent experience in Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field.

Ways to Stand Out from the Crowd:

• Experience in or strong familiarity with the L2+/L3/L4 autonomous vehicle software industry.

• Knowledge of HD/SD mapping technologies—especially with hands-on experience in practical AV use cases.

• Demonstrated experience in turning new products and technologies from concept into actual results, with a focus on managing complex software projects and groups within agile frameworks.

• Evidence of a continuous learning approach, enthusiasm for solving tough problems, and a dedication to delivering high-quality end products.

Realizing fully autonomous driving will be one of the most defining technological achievements of our generation. It could save over 1.25 million lives annually by reducing traffic accidents. NVIDIA has unmatched scale, top-tier talent, and strong resources to make this vision real. We need your expertise to help us achieve it!

Widely recognized as one of the world’s most innovative and desirable employers, NVIDIA is home to some of the brightest minds in AI, robotics, and autonomous systems. If you are creative, driven, and ready to push the boundaries of autonomous navigation, we’d love to hear from you.
