About the role

The Technical Program Management (TPM) team at Stack is a high-caliber, close-knit group of industry veterans with deep expertise spanning autonomous vehicles, commercial robotics, and startups.
We operate as trusted strategic advisors to leadership, leveraging our technical background and talent for leading through influence to align diverse, elite engineering teams toward a shared vision.
Leadership trusts us with the keys to our commercial autonomy roadmap, relying on our ability to break down silos, bridge hardware and software ecosystems, and synthesize executive strategy into operational reality.

Responsibilities

Manage the execution and communication of major, high-stakes cross-functional programs that require end-to-end alignment across the entire organization.
Build deep, trust-based relationships with diverse cross-functional stakeholders to align engineering teams, push technical paths forward, and unify the organization around shared goals.
Design and scale engineering processes within your programs, establishing operational frameworks that reduce friction and elevate efficiency across the broader organization.
As organizational multipliers, we own the execution of Stack's most complex, ambiguous, and high-stakes cross-functional programs.
We don't just manage timelines

Requirements

Strong experience as a hands on engineer prior to becoming a TPM required in robotics, automotive, aerospace or technology domains is desired.
Proven experience managing the integration of highly complex, multi-domain technical systems.
Familiarity with typical agile software development lifecycles and waterfall hardware development lifecycles.
The ability to digest dense, complex technical discussions and accurately extract core conclusions, action items, and trade-offs.
Demonstrated experience effectively presenting to and interacting with executive leadership in a dynamic environment.
Exceptional interpersonal and teamwork skills, with a demonstrated ability to build deep, trusting relationships.
A hyper-organized mindset focusing with breath and depth on the technical details.
Mastery over standard TPM toolbox (Managing burndown lists, Developing Roadmaps, building dependency maps, running workshops, and using the right amount of process in Jira).
A proactive personal quality characterized by a willingness to fearlessly jump into unknown areas and learn new technical domains quickly.
We are proud to be an equal opportunity workplace. We believe that diverse teams produce the best ideas and outcomes. We are committed to building a culture of inclusion, entrepreneurship, and innovation across gender, race, age, sexual orientation, religion, disability, and identity.
