About the job
Owns software readiness tracking and cross-functional execution for Aurora’s expanding commercial trucking network, aligning engineering readiness with commercial priorities and reporting status to leadership.
What you'll do
- Maintain the definitive readiness status for routes and sites, covering mapping, ODD analysis, test creation, and on-road performance.
- Synthesize program status, lead executive reviews, and communicate risks, decisions, and commercial tradeoffs.
- Coordinate engineering dependencies, vehicle demand forecasting, and scalable processes and tooling for network expansion.
What they ask for
- Technical understanding of ODD analysis, test coverage, and system integration sufficient to assess schedules and risks.
- Experience driving alignment and accountability across multiple teams without directly controlling their roadmaps.
- Ability to combine executive-level synthesis with hands-on operational work, including building processes and tracking artifacts in ambiguous environments.
