Staff Technical Program Manager (Vehicle Security)

Join Aurora, a leading autonomous vehicle technology company, as a Staff Technical Program Manager (TPM) focused on vehicle security initiatives. In this role, you will collaborate with security leaders, engineering teams, and security architects to implement vehicle security strategies that protect Aurora's onboard and offboard systems. You will be responsible for program governance, end-to-end execution of security programs, and coordinating technical work across various teams. The ideal candidate will have 8-10+ years of experience in technical program management, engineering program management, or security program management in a technology organization, with a strong background in automotive cybersecurity standards and safety-critical systems.

• Lead large cross-team security programs spanning Aurora's security pillars, with emphasis on vehicle and platform security.
• Own program governance for vehicle security initiatives: roadmaps, risk tracking, dependency management, and escalation paths across onboard and offboard security domains.
• Drive end-to-end execution of security programs tied to the Aurora Driver platform, from planning through delivery and safety case coordination.
• Experience partnering with engineering teams on vehicle architecture, embedded platform, or onboard/offboard infrastructure initiatives, with technical depth in how security integrates into a physical product
• Experience managing large-scale technical systems programs such as secure boot, vehicle identity and access management, onboard credential management, or vehicle-to-cloud security architecture
• 8-10+ years in technical program management, engineering program management, or security program management in a technology organization
• Proven ability to coordinate multi-team engineering efforts across hardware and software boundaries, with long time horizons tied to vehicle release cycles
• Familiarity with automotive cybersecurity standards, specifically ISO 21434 or UNECE R155/R156, and how they apply to program-level governance and evidence tracking
• 5+ years leading complex cross-functional technical programs, with direct experience in automotive, robotics, aerospace, or another safety-critical, physically-deployed systems domain
• Experience with safety case development or functional safety programs (ISO 26262, ASPICE) in an automotive or AV context
• Familiarity with vehicle security domains: secure boot, TCM/secure comms, onboard IAM, OTA update security, or fleet-scale credential provisioning
• Experience with automotive supply chain or OEM integration security (Tier 1/Tier 2 supplier requirements, third-party integration risk)
• Familiarity with security tooling for embedded or vehicle platforms, distinct from standard enterprise SIEM/SOAR/SAST tooling
• PMP, PgMP, Agile, or SAFe certifications, or equivalent program management training
