About the team:

The Discovery, Test, and Triage team's mission is to provide the tools, processes and signals needed by our development teams to discover, understand, and durably address the insufficiencies of our Trucking and Ride-hailing products.

About the Role:

As a PM in this space, you will partner closely with autonomy and platform engineers, product managers, technical program managers, and designers to streamline and build a next generation autonomy visualization platform. You'll gain a deep understanding and advocate for the users who need to understand how the autonomy system "thinks" in order to make decisions, fix issues, and build models at Aurora. You'll define the tools and services that hundreds of Aurorans will use every day as they analyze and improve our autonomy system. Your work is critical to accelerate the core mission of the company to bring the Aurora Driver to market safely, quickly, and broadly.

In this role, you will:

• Define the vision for a multi-year product roadmap for your product area, collaborating with PM, Design, Engineering, TPM, and other stakeholders to build a suite of autonomy visualization tools and services that accelerates our autonomy development lifecycle.
• Engage with key stakeholders to facilitate tradeoff decisions and prioritize deliverables that align to company milestones.
• Effectively communicate product strategy and roadmap, from executives to individual team members, bringing clarity to the 'what and the why.'
• Conduct market and user research to deeply understand the state of the art in your space and how that maps to your team's use cases. Propose open-source and commercial solutions where applicable, and set direction for the technologies that can be developed internally.
• Manage product risks and ensure valuable outcomes are delivered to the organization.
• Author Product Requirements Documents that contain clear and deep thinking about the purpose of proposed solutions, the outcomes they will drive, key success metrics, and the features needed to realize the potential.
• Help drive engineering execution through facilitation of scrum activities, cross team dependency and resource alignment, and status reporting on progress against goals.

Required Qualifications:

• 2+ years of product or program management experience or 4+ years of relevant experience
• Engineering, mathematics, or other highly quantitative degree, with strong technical aptitude and skills required
• Strong technical background (familiarity with C++ as well as web frameworks)
• Must have experience building developer tools and deeply understand the needs of software engineers (preferably robotics engineers)
• Experience leading product development of complex systems on modern technology platforms
• Strong cross-functional leadership skills, ability to influence without authority, and excellent written and verbal communication skills.

Desirable Qualifications:

• Experience with Robotics log data
• Experience in the Autonomous Vehicle space
• Experience with complex visualization products involving large-scale complex data
• Experience optimizing web tooling for performant loading
• Experience working with 3D visualization tooling
