Customer Technical Program Manager, Vehicle OS

What the role actually is

Applied Intuition is standing up a dedicated Ann Arbor program team for a major automotive OEM software program. This role owns customer-facing program management across milestones, scope, risks, dependencies, and reporting.

The listing reads like a true interface role between customer program leadership and Applied's engineering organization, with Vehicle OS delivery as the product context.

What you would work on

• Maintain the program baseline across scope, milestones, risks, and dependencies
• Coordinate delivery across Applied engineering teams through engineering TPMs
• Serve as a primary customer interface on schedule, risks, and program status
• Translate ambiguous customer requests into tracked work and decisions

What they are asking for

• Technical program management experience on complex software, automotive, autonomy, or customer programs
• Comfort working directly with senior customer stakeholders
• Strong operating rhythm around milestones, reporting, risks, and dependencies
• Ability to work five days onsite from Applied's Ann Arbor office

Why this one is worth a look

Vehicle OS work is where autonomy-adjacent product strategy turns into delivery commitments. This role is worth watching because it sits at the customer boundary, where roadmap, engineering reality, and OEM expectations meet.
