- What we are looking for
- Aurora hires talented people with diverse backgrounds who are ready to help build a transportation ecosystem that will make our roads safer, get crucial goods where they need to go, and make mobility more efficient and accessible for all.
- We are searching for a Senior Technical Project Manager to drive Aurora's Vehicle/Hardware safety case to completion.
- Reporting into the Safety Case & Quality Management team, you will own the program management of the Vehicle/Hardware portion of Aurora's safety case end to end - planning the work, coordinating the engineers who own claims and produce hardware evidence, tracking progress and risk, and driving each claim through to closure in support of release decisions.
- You will be the connective tissue between Hardware Engineering, Vehicle Platform teams, Systems/Safety Engineering, and the Safety Org, ensuring the safety case stays on schedule, sufficient, and audit-ready.
- Your work directly substantiates that the Aurora-equipped vehicle is acceptably safe to operate on public roads.
- You will turn the enterprise Safety Case Lifecycle Process into executed reality for the Vehicle/Hardware module: scoping impacted claims at each milestone, establishing Definitions of Done and timelines, orchestrating hardware evidence development and release, assessing sufficiency against Aurora's Maturity Rubric, managing unsatisfied claims as accepted risks, and keeping evidence fresh across milestone and non-milestone releases.
- You will maintain the live picture of safety case health and progress, and your reporting will feed the Safety Review Board's Go/No-Go decisions for releases.
- This is a hands-on technical program role - equal parts project management, hardware safety-case engineering judgment, and cross-functional leadership.
- In this role, you will
- Own the program management of the Vehicle/Hardware safety case end to end - planning, scoping, scheduling, and driving claims to closure across releases.
- Scope claims impacted by each milestone and platform change, set Definitions of Done and timelines, and coordinate the engineers who produce the hardware evidence.
- Drive evidence to sufficiency - released, version-controlled, and assessed - and progress each claim through the safety case workflow to closure while preserving independence.
- Manage safety risk for unsatisfied claims through accepted RISK tickets, and keep the live picture of safety case health, progress, and evidence freshness.
- Compile hardware inputs to release closure reports, support SRB Go/No-Go decisions, and drive continuous improvement of Definitions of Done and the Framework.
- Support internal and external safety case audits and assessments, and mentor claim and evidence owners on the process and tooling.
