We are looking for a Senior Technical Program Manager (TPM) to lead complex software and systems programs for Amazon's Autonomous Delivery Vehicle initiative. This role will support the development and scaling of the software, data infrastructure, operational tools, and delivery-system integrations required to test and operate autonomous vehicle fleets within Amazon's last-mile delivery network.
The Sr. TPM will lead one or more cross-functional workstreams spanning vehicle data management, fleet and operations tools, software and hardware integration, route planning, remote vehicle support, and delivery-station workflows. The role will partner closely with software engineering, systems engineering, vehicle engineering, safety, operations, and external technology partners to define requirements, manage technical dependencies, and deliver capabilities from early testing through scaled deployment.
The ideal candidate has experience delivering complex software programs that connect cloud services, operational tools, and physical systems. Experience with autonomous vehicles, robotics, connected vehicles, fleet technology, or other safety-critical systems is preferred.
