Technical Program Manager - Offroad

What the role actually is

Applied Intuition is hiring a technical program manager for offroad autonomy work. The role covers program structure, milestones, technical dependencies, and delivery coordination for autonomy products used outside passenger-car contexts.

The interesting part is the domain: offroad autonomy has different users, environments, and deployment rhythms than highway driving, so program decisions have to stay grounded in field constraints.

What you would work on

• Build and run program plans for offroad autonomy engagements
• Coordinate milestones across engineering, product, and customer-facing teams
• Track technical dependencies, risks, release dates, and customer commitments
• Turn ambiguous field and partner needs into executable workstreams
• Report program health clearly enough for both leadership and technical teams to act

What they are asking for

• Technical program management, engineering, or product-adjacent experience
• Background or fluency in autonomy, robotics, automotive, mining, or related technical systems
• Comfort managing fast-moving cross-functional programs with imperfect information
• Ability to communicate tradeoffs to technical teams, customers, and executives
• Willingness to work from Applied's Sunnyvale office

Why this one is worth a look

Offroad robotics is where autonomy leaves carefully bounded roads and runs into messy industrial reality. This role is relevant because it owns the product-operating layer that decides whether Applied's autonomy work becomes a reliable customer deployment instead of a custom project.
