As a Sr. Technical Program Manager, you will run the "data engine," the process by which we improve neural networks via data annotation by leveraging Tesla's fleet. You will take ownership of the datasets of specific vision models (ex. stop signs) and make them large, high quality, and diverse. You will identify areas where neural networks are challenged (ex. even blue stop signs!), work with engineers to formalize requirements and deliverables for the data annotation team, and close the loop by driving improvements in models via data. You will manage the variety of datasets (what should get annotated), the ontology (how data should be labeled), and project success by organizing the project goals/milestones/risks. The data engine is the most crucial aspect of "pre-neural-network" development and has unlocked every major Autopilot customer release.

• Manage data annotation (ie. Ground truth) projects from ideation to planning, pilot, and production
• Collaborate with neural network engineers to identify areas where neural networks are challenged and should be improved via data
• Design annotation ontology with engineers, considering the implications for training neural networks
• Partner with the data annotation leadership team to set goals, forecast timelines, ensure goals are met
• Design labeling interfaces by creating and testing core features, flagging issues, and prioritizing feature requests
• Leverage the Tesla fleet to source interesting, diverse, and plentiful data to annotate
• Dive into the details including annotating data yourself

• Four years of technology industry experience in product, program, or project management
• Bachelor's Degree in Engineering or Analytics heavy major, or equivalent
• Understanding of machine learning fundamentals (training vs. test set, overfitting, precision/recall, positive supervision, etc.) to design ontology
• Excellent work ethic, communication, and collaboration skills
• Ability to thrive in a constantly changing environment with high ambiguity
• Passion for the future of transportation and autonomous technologies
