About Cyngn

Based in Mountain View, CA, Cyngn is a publicly-traded autonomous technology company. We deploy self-driving industrial vehicles like forklifts and tuggers to factories, warehouses, and other facilities throughout North America. To build this emergent technology, we are looking for innovative, motivated, and experienced leaders to join us and move this field forward. If you like to build, tinker, and create with a team of trusted and passionate colleagues, then Cyngn is the place for you. Key reasons to join Cyngn :

We are small and big.

With under 100 employees, Cyngn operates with the energy of a startup. On the other hand, we’re publicly traded. This means our employees not only work in close-knit teams with mentorship from company leaders—they also get access to the liquidity of our publicly-traded equity.

We build today and deploy tomorrow.

Our autonomous vehicles aren’t just test concepts—they’re deployed to real clients right now. That means your work will have a tangible, visible impact.

We aren’t robots. We just develop them.

We’re a welcoming, diverse team of sharp thinkers and kind humans. Collaboration and trust drive our creative environment. At Cyngn, everyone’s perspective matters—and that’s what powers our innovation.

About This Role

Cyngn is seeking a Program Manager to support the coordination and execution of cross-functional projects that contribute to the development and deployment of our autonomous vehicle technologies, as well as help manage customer support programs. This role is ideal for someone with 2–4 years of experience in program or project management who is eager to grow their skills in a fast-paced, hardware / software environment. The ideal candidate will bring strong organizational and communication abilities, a collaborative mindset, and a solid understanding of program delivery fundamentals.

• Help manage project schedules, roadmaps, and deliverables in alignment with company objectives.
• Support project planning, tracking, and execution to ensure progress against key milestones.
• Assist in the development and refinement of customer support programs that align with business goals and customer satisfaction efforts.
