Software Technical Program Manager - Systems Integration

Nuro
California
Who We Are

Nuro is a self-driving technology company on a mission to make autonomy accessible to all. Founded in 2016, Nuro is building the world’s most scalable driver, combining cutting-edge AI with automotive-grade hardware. Nuro licenses its core technology, the Nuro Driver™, to support a wide range of applications, from robotaxis and commercial fleets to personally owned vehicles. With technology proven over years of self-driving deployments, Nuro gives the automakers and mobility platforms a clear path to AVs at commercial scale, empowering a safer, richer, and more connected future.

About The Role

At Nuro, safety isn't a checklist - it's the foundation of everything we build. We're looking for a Systems Safety TPM who can operate at the intersection of functional safety standards, platform integration, and cross-disciplinary engineering to help us deliver a vehicle that earns public trust every mile it drives.

In this role, you'll own safety program execution across hardware, embedded software, and controls domains - translating ISO 26262 requirements into actionable plans, driving functional safety artifacts from concept through validation, and ensuring our safety case is rigorous, traceable, and audit-ready.

About The Work

Safety Program Management

  • Lead end-to-end program execution for functional safety workstreams, coordinating across Controls, HW, and Embedded SW teams.
  • Develop and maintain program schedules, risk registers, and cross-functional dependency maps to ensure on-time delivery of safety milestones.
  • Own tracking and closure of safety-related action items, open points, and audit findings across the vehicle platform.

Functional Safety & Standards

  • Drive the development, review, and maintenance of Functional Safety Requirements (FSRs) and Technical Safety Requirements (TSRs) in alignment with ISO 26262.
  • Support HARA (Hazard Analysis and Risk Assessment), FMEA, FTA, and safety goal derivation processes in collaboration with systems safety engineers.
  • Ensure safety work products are complete, consistent, and compliant with applicable ASIL targets (A–D).

Platform Integration, Testing & Validation

  • Partner with integration and validation teams to define safety-relevant test strategies for platform-level and system-level verification.
  • Track coverage of safety requirements through integration testing, including HIL/SIL environments and vehicle-level validation activities.
  • Identify and escalate gaps between safety requirements and test coverage; drive resolution with engineering owners.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Serve as the connective tissue between Safety, Controls, HW, and Embedded SW — translating safety requirements into engineering deliverables and vice versa.
  • Facilitate technical reviews (safety plan reviews, work product assessments, confirmation reviews) and ensure timely stakeholder alignment.
  • Interface with internal and external functional safety assessors as needed.

About You

  • 4–6 years of experience in systems engineering, safety engineering, or technical program management in automotive, AV, robotics, or adjacent domains.
  • Hands-on familiarity with ISO 26262 processes and work products (FSR, TSR, HARA, FMEA, safety plans, etc.).
  • Experience working across at least two of: Controls, Hardware, or Embedded Software disciplines.
  • Demonstrated ability to manage complex, multi-team programs with competing priorities and tight timelines.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills; able to synthesize technical complexity for mixed audiences.

Bonus Points

  • Experience with SOTIF (ISO 21448) or other complementary safety standards (IEC 61508, UL 4600).
  • Familiarity with safety tooling (e.g., PTC Integrity, Jama Connect, DOORS, or similar requirements management tools).
  • Background in hardware/software integration testing, HIL/SIL validation, or vehicle-level testing.
  • TÜV Functional Safety Engineer certification or equivalent is a plus.

At Nuro, your base pay is one part of your total compensation package. For this position, the reasonably expected base pay range is between $132,300 and $198,450 for the level at which this job has been scoped. Your base pay will depend on several factors, including your experience, qualifications, education, location, and skills. In the event that you are considered for a different level, a higher or lower pay range would apply. This position is also eligible for an annual performance bonus, equity, and a competitive benefits package.
