Technical Program Manager - Hardware Abstraction

At Oxa, we're building the future of Industrial Mobile Autonomy (IMA) and are in the market for new talent. Oxa’s customers are the operators of some of the world's largest industrial facilities. Our technology transforms existing industrial vehicles into intelligent autonomous fleets, unlocking new levels of productivity, safety, and performance.   ‘The phone in your hand, the coffee on your desk, the shirt on your back - they all moved through a web of ports (air and sea), distribution yards and manufacturing hubs. This is the invisible circulatory system of global trade, and it relies entirely on a relentless, repetitive shuffle of goods. Towing. This towing task happens in complex, commerce-critical industrial environments. Here, having self driving technology “do the driving” delivers immediate, measurable impact. IMA will revolutionise the movement of goods across the world's ports, airports, and yards. You can be part of that as an Oxbot’ ‘Paul Newman - Founder and CEO’   Our Products: Our products are built on four core technology pillars which come together to build a complete system: Oxa Ware – Our modular autonomy hardware systems for consistent and repeatable integration of autonomy with existing vehicles. Oxa Driver – Our Physical AI, embodied in Oxa Ware, self-driving software that enables vehicles to perceive, reason, and drive autonomously in complex real-world environments. Oxa Foundry – Our development toolchain that leverages generative AI to continuously train and assure Oxa Driver, synthesising situations and sensor data. Oxa Hub – Our suite of cloud services for monitoring, managing and orchestrating fleets driven by Oxa Driver, including an API for integration with existing logistics systems.   Behind these technologies is our exceptional team, the Oxbots. We are home to some of the world's leading experts in autonomous systems, robotics, machine learning, artificial intelligence, cloud infrastructure, and distributed software engineering. Together, we're solving some of the hardest technical challenges in autonomy, turning the research and development we do into production and deploying it into environments. Making robots do useful work.   Your Team: You will join the Hardware Abstraction layer of Oxa Driver: the teams that sit between our autonomy software and the vehicles it drives. They make one autonomy stack run safely on many different industrial vehicles, so their scope scales with each vehicle platform we integrate. Hardware Abstraction is a group of teams responsible for: safety-rated collision avoidance, and the evidence that supports product certification vehicle and driving models that turn planned motion into commands each vehicle can execute the on-vehicle safety controllers and the software that runs on them the vehicle interface: the configuration and signal mapping that adapt the stack to each vehicle type bringing new vehicle types into service, including retrofit drive-by-wire The teams work closely with Integration & Test, Autonomy Applications, Vehicle Engineering, our safety team, and external hardware suppliers and vehicle manufacturers. Your Role: You are the delivery enabler for the Hardware Abstraction teams. You coordinate delivery so the teams can plan, build, test and ship with less friction, and their leads can focus on engineering. You will work with engineering, product and solutions leaders across the stack who own customer outcomes. Your focus is to make sure the Hardware Abstraction layer delivers what it committed to, predictably, with its dependencies visible early. This layer succeeds or fails on real vehicles and test rigs, so you will spend one to two   Your Responsibilities Plans the teams can deliver: Take the layer's commitments in our product engineering plan and, with the leads, turn them into sequenced work with dates and a clear definition of done. A delivery rhythm that fits: Run planning, stand-ups and retr
