Founded in 2017 and now valued at $15 billion, the Silicon Valley company is creating the digital infrastructure needed to bring intelligence to every moving machine on the planet. Applied Intuition services the automotive, defense, trucking, construction, mining and agriculture industries in three core areas: tools and infrastructure, operating systems, and autonomy. Eighteen of the top 20 global automakers, as well as the United States military and its allies, trust the company’s solutions to deliver physical intelligence. Applied Intuition is headquartered in Sunnyvale, California, with offices in Washington, D.C.; San Diego; Ft. Walton Beach, Florida; Ann Arbor, Michigan; London; Stuttgart; Munich; Stockholm; Bangalore; Seoul; and Tokyo. Learn more at applied.co.\nWe are an in-office company, and our expectation is that full-time employees primarily work from their Applied Intuition office 5 days a week. However, we also recognize the importance of flexibility and trust our employees to manage their schedules responsibly. This may include occasional remote work, starting the day with morning meetings from home before heading to the office, or leaving earlier when needed to accommodate family commitments. This in-office expectation does not apply to contractor positions\nAbout the role\nWe are looking for a Technical Program Manager to drive execution of Applied Intuition's global autonomous trucking programs. You will own the milestones our OEM customers are measured against, lead new operational launches - including standing up operations at new sites, lanes, and regions - and keep engineering, operations, and customer teams moving against a single plan.\nThis is a hands-on execution role. You will work daily with engineers at Applied Intuition and inside customer organizations, translating Level 4 (L4) autonomy deployment goals into schedules, dependencies, and decisions that hold up under pressure.\nAt Applied Intuition, you will:\nOwn program milestones end to end for strategic trucking engagements with global truck OEMs - building the integrated schedule, tracking dependencies across teams, and holding the organization to committed dates.\n\nLead new operational launches, including bringing up autonomous trucking operations at new sites and routes. You will build the launch plan and sequence work across facilities, fleet, safety, engineering, and local operations through to first revenue miles.\n\nSurface and resolve risk early. Identify gaps before they become slips, drive blockers to resolution rather than escalate them, and make trade-offs visible to the people who need to decide.\n\nBe the source of truth on program status for both working teams and executives - at Applied Intuition and at the customer. This means translating technical detail into decisions leadership can act on, not forwarding status decks.\n\nWork directly with OEM customers and stakeholders to pin down use cases, clarify requirements, and unblock technical challenges across hardware, software, safety, and operations.\n\nImplement operating practices that scale, so the second site launch is faster than the first and the tenth does not require you in the room.\n\nSupport business development by contributing to technical proposals and RFQ responses and hosting technology demonstrations for customer and executive audiences.\n\nWe're looking for someone who has:\nBachelor's degree in a STEM field or equivalent experience.\n\n5+ years of program or project management experience on advanced software, robotics, or autonomous vehicle programs (ADAS or L4 autonomy), including ownership of hard external deadlines.\n\nDemonstrated ownership of a program launch or operational bring-up -a new site, facility, fleet, route, or region - from plan through steady state.\n\nTrack record running programs across distributed teams, sites, and time zones.\n\nAbility to get deep into technical detail: enough systems-level understanding of hardware, software, and field operations to challenge a schedule you are handed rather than just publish it.\n\nCommunication skills that work in both directions - credible with engineers in a debug session and with OEM executives in a review.\n\nWillingness to travel internationally to customer and operational sites.\n\nNice to have:\nDirect experience on L4 autonomy programs, particularly trucking or long-haul freight.\n\nExperience in commercial vehicle, logistics, or fleet operations.\n\nExperience working directly with OEM or Tier 1 customers on joint development programs.\n\nDon’t meet every single requirement? If you’re excited about this role but your past experience doesn’t align perfectly with every qualification in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyway.
