At the core of everything we do is our commitment to safety.
Key Responsibilities
Lead large cross-team security programs spanning Aurora's security pillars, with emphasis on vehicle and platform security: Product Security, Cloud Security, Security Engineering, Security Operations, GRC, and Enterprise IT.
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.
Coordinate technical work across security architecture, embedded systems, and vehicle platform teams. Manage dependencies and remove blockers across teams building for a safety-critical, deployed AV fleet.
Provide program visibility through dashboards and leadership reviews, including status on vehicle security milestones tied to release trains
Requirements
8-10+ years in technical program management, engineering program management, or security program management in a technology organization.
5+ years leading complex cross-functional technical programs, with direct experience in automotive, robotics, aerospace, or another safety-critical, physically-deployed systems domain.
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.
Familiarity with automotive cybersecurity standards, specifically ISO 21434 or UNECE R155/R156, and how they apply to program-level governance and evidence tracking.
Proven ability to coordinate multi-team engineering efforts across hardware and software boundaries, with long time horizons tied to vehicle release cycles.
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.
