About the Company

At Torc, we have always believed that autonomous vehicle technology will transform how we travel, move freight, and do business.
A leader in autonomous driving since 2007, Torc has spent over a decade commercializing our solutions with experienced partners. Now a part of the Daimler family, we are focused solely on developing software for automated trucks to transform how the world moves freight.
Join us and catapult your career with the company that helped pioneer autonomous technology, and the first AV software company with the vision to partner directly with a truck manufacturer.

Meet The Team:

The Technical Product Management (TPM) Team drives alignment through a technology roadmap, accelerating our corporate milestones by focusing our development teams on the most critical items on our path to a milestone. We do this through cross-functional coordination with all teams in technology: driving decisions, defining measurable acceptance criteria, and building shared accountability with stakeholders to agree on deliverables and timelines. We collaborate with other TPMs to manage dependencies to deliver corporate milestones. By rallying ourselves around a plan, TPMs will predict outcomes before they happen: unblocking dependencies in advance, managing risk proactively, and anticipating resource or staffing gaps to accomplish our goals. As our plans or goals update, TPMs leverage best practices around change management, further driving alignment, decision making, and documentation across Torc. Lastly, we partner with engineering teams to maintain accountability, providing clear updates and shared action items that help everyone stay informed on the health of our technology roadmap.
