Customer Technical Program Manager, Vehicle OS

What the role actually is

Applied Intuition is hiring a customer technical program manager for a flagship Vehicle OS software program. The role owns milestones, scope, risks, dependencies, reporting, and customer-facing coordination across Applied engineering and the customer's program team.

This Sunnyvale posting mirrors Applied's Ann Arbor Vehicle OS program role, but anchors the work in the company's California office. It is a program seat for making autonomy-adjacent platform delivery concrete with a major automotive customer.

What you would work on

• Maintain the program baseline across milestones, scope, risks, and dependencies
• Coordinate delivery across Applied engineering teams through engineering TPMs
• Run customer and internal governance cadences for schedule, risks, decisions, and KPIs
• Turn ambiguous customer asks into tracked work and practical delivery plans

What they are asking for

• Technical program management experience in automotive, autonomy, software, or customer programs
• Comfort working directly with customer program leadership and internal engineering teams
• Strong operating rhythm around milestones, reporting, escalation, and cross-team dependencies
• Ability to work primarily from Applied's Sunnyvale office

Why this one is worth a look

Vehicle OS is where Applied's physical AI platform work meets customer delivery pressure. This role is interesting because it sits at the boundary between product promise, engineering execution, and OEM expectations.
