Aurora is seeking a Senior Technical Project Manager to own end-to-end program management of the Vehicle/Hardware safety case. Reporting to the Safety Case & Quality Management team, you will be responsible for planning, scoping, scheduling, and driving hardware safety claims to closure across product releases. Your core responsibilities include: orchestrating hardware evidence development and release across Hardware Engineering, Vehicle Platform, and Systems/Safety teams; establishing Definitions of Done and timelines for each milestone; assessing claim sufficiency against Aurora's Maturity Rubric; managing unsatisfied claims as accepted risks; and maintaining the live picture of safety case health and progress to support Safety Review Board Go/No-Go decisions.
This is a hands-on technical program role requiring equal parts project management discipline, hardware safety-case engineering judgment, and cross-functional leadership. You will turn Aurora's enterprise Safety Case Lifecycle Process into executed reality for the Vehicle/Hardware module, ensuring the safety case stays on schedule, sufficient, and audit-ready. Your work directly substantiates that Aurora-equipped vehicles are acceptably safe to operate on public roads. You will compile hardware inputs to release closure reports, support internal and external safety audits, and mentor claim and evidence owners on process and tooling.
Required: Bachelor's degree in Electrical, Computer, or Mechanical Engineering (or equivalent technical experience); 5+ years in technical program/project management, hardware/systems engineering, functional safety, or safety case development; demonstrated experience in safety-critical hardware domains (automotive, aerospace, industrial, medical); proven program-management skills in planning, tracking, risk/dependency management, and cross-team delivery; working knowledge of safety/assurance case methods (claims-arguments-evidence, GSN) and ISO 26262 (especially Part 5 hardware development); familiarity with ASPICE; and knowledge of hardware safety evidence including architecture, FMEA/FMEDA, diagnostic coverage, FIT-rate, PMHF, and reliability analyses.
