Waymo is hiring a senior program manager to run validation-fleet onboarding for new vehicle platform variants, from arrival and upfit through testing and deployment. The job splits between program structure, executive reporting, and hands-on depot work when things stall. It asks for 7–10+ years leading complex technical programs or physical operations, plus comfort influencing engineering, product, supply chain, safety and legal. Automotive, autonomous-vehicle or robotics hardware launch experience is preferred; 15–30% travel is required.
