Senior Program Manager, Eval Operations

What the role actually is

Nuro is hiring a senior program manager for Eval Operations, the group that helps decide whether autonomous driving software is ready before it goes on road. The role organizes validation work across simulation, root-cause analysis, and systems evaluation.

This is a program role with direct product safety implications. The person would build intake, triage, prioritization, escalation, and cross-team planning with autonomy engineering and systems engineering.

What you would work on

• Run intake, triage, prioritization, and escalation for validation work
• Improve workflows as autonomy evaluation complexity grows
• Coordinate simulation, root-cause analysis, and systems evaluation priorities
• Partner with autonomy and systems engineering to turn competing needs into clear plans

What they are asking for

• Senior program management experience in technical or safety-critical systems
• Ability to bring structure to ambiguous, fast-moving work
• Comfort learning autonomy, validation, and software operations context
• Strong cross-functional judgment across multiple software teams

Why this one is worth a look

Autonomy evaluation is where product velocity meets safety reality. This role is interesting because it shapes the operating system around validation, not just the delivery dates, and that work matters every time the autonomy stack changes.
