Lead Technical Program Manager, Robotaxi

Job description

Job responsibilities

• Define and maintain the integrated robotaxi program plan — key milestones, cross-team dependencies, and critical path — spanning autonomy, vehicle hardware, safety/V&V, fleet operations, and commercial launch readiness.
• Own program-level risk management. Surface issues early, bring data-backed options rather than just status updates, and ensure every dependency has a clear owner and ETA.
• Drive launch and market-readiness planning across vehicle readiness, ODD (operational design domain) coverage, safety validation sign-off, site and facility readiness, and regulatory or permitting requirements for new…
• Partner with Autonomy, Safety, Commercial, and Operations to translate top-down strategy into executable roadmaps, and hold teams accountable to the plan.
• Build and run executive reporting — concise, credible updates on program status, risk, and path-to-green for leadership.
• Define and track the KPIs that measure readiness for driverless operation, such as ODD coverage, disengagement rates, system readiness, and rider experience metrics.
• Establish scalable processes and tooling for robotaxi program tracking, ensuring a single source of truth as the program and fleet scale.
• Represent the robotaxi program in cross-company planning, ensuring it's properly sequenced against Waabi's trucking roadmap and shared platform investments.
