Nvidia Senior Program Manager Carline – Autonomous Vehicles 

United States, California 

521411416

We are looking for a technically adept and motivated Senior Carline Program Manager to coordinate the complete implementation of self-driving features for one of our vehicle models. You will partner with engineering, product, system, and validation teams to bring next-generation driving intelligence from concept to production. Ideal for problem-solvers who excel at integrating software, hardware, and vehicle systems in fast-paced environments.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Lead the full lifecycle of an autonomous driving program—from definition and prototype to mass-production readiness.

• Coordinate multi-functional engineering teams (software, perception, control, hardware, testing) toward shared milestones.

• Manage schedules, dependencies, and risk across internal and customer programs with transparency and urgency.

• Define and supervise key metrics (velocity, release cadence, validation readiness) to ensure high-quality delivery.

• Act as the single point of accountability for vehicle-line AD feature integration and customer communication.

• Drive issue resolution, escalation, and data-driven decision-making across all stakeholders.

• Continuously refine execution processes to increase development speed and reliability.

What We Need To See:

• BS/MS in Computer Science,Electrical/MechanicalEngineering, Automotive Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience).

• 8+ years of program or project management experience within autonomous driving, ADAS, or intelligent-EV domains.

• Proven success leading cross-functional technical teams and delivering sophisticated systems on aggressive timelines.

• Strong understanding of autonomous driving software stack (perception, planning, control, compute, E/E architecture).

• Excellent communication and influencing skills; comfortable operating across global teams and executive levels.

• Solid command of modern project tools: Jira, Confluence, Git, dashboards, or similar.

• Proficient in English; capable of leading cross-region discussions with customers and suppliers.

Ways to Stand Out from the Crowd:

• Experience in tech-driven automotive environments.

• Familiarity with high-compute AD platforms (NVIDIA Orin, Qualcomm Ride).

• Background in system integration, simulation, or automated validation.

• Demonstrated ability to scale agile execution frameworks across engineering teams.

• PMP or Scrum Master certification is a plus.
