Technical Program Manager (Offroad)

• We are looking for a Technical Program Manager to help strategize and manage complex autonomous mining engineering projects, identify gaps, and implement best practices for our customers
• This position will involve intense collaboration with engineers within Applied Intuition and at the customer, in order to implement solutions towards our customers’ autonomy deployment goals
• Manage hardware and software stack deployment and autonomy system commissioning activities across customer mining and construction sites globally
• Own and manage multiple concurrent mining autonomy customer engagements, ensuring all workstreams are progressing toward contractual obligations and delivery milestones
• Define and scope bi-weekly sprint goals across customer projects, maintaining rigorous documentation of deliverables and task traceability in tools like Jira and Confluence
• Serve as the operational backbone for customer engagements — keeping the right people in the right meetings, maintaining workstream hygiene, and ensuring nothing falls through the cracks
• Collaborate closely with software engineers, workstream leads, customer engineering teams, and business development to drive progress on mining autonomy deployments
• Collaborate with customers to integrate and deliver mining autonomy solutions, coordinating across hardware and software teams to hit aggressive timelines
• Identify and implement AI-driven improvements to sprint workflows, reducing manual overhead and increasing team velocity

Preferred experience

• A positive, adaptable attitude with the ability to context-switch quickly across customers and workstreams
• Enough technical fluency to follow engineering discussions, parse software scoping tasks, and contribute meaningfully to sprint planning — coding experience is not required
• 3–5 years of experience in technical program management, engineering, or a related field; candidates with a software engineering background transitioning into TPM are welcome
• Strong organizational skills and a high bar for documentation hygiene across all customer deliverables
• Demonstrated ability to manage multiple complex customer projects simultaneously without losing attention to detail
• Experience with program management tools and methodologies (e.g., Jira, Confluence, Google Drive, sprint planning)
• Familiarity with autonomous systems or robotics programs
• Experience in mining, construction, or other heavy industry environments
• Comfort using AI tools (e.g., Cursor, Claude) to automate or streamline workflows
