Senior Digital Twin Technical Program Manager

About the role

We’re a leader in data and AI. Through our software and services, we inspire customers around the world to transform data into intelligence - and questions into answers. If you're looking for a dynamic, fulfilling career with flexibility and a world-class employee experience, you'll find it here. We're recognized around the world for our inclusive, meaningful culture and innovative technologies by organizations like Fast Company, Forbes, Newsweek and more. The Digital Twin Platform team is looking for a Sr. Digital Twin Program Manager to lead the delivery of a real-time simulation platform that mirrors physical systems (plants, fleets, facilities and the equipment inside them) so our customers can test, tune and predict before they commit in the real world. Our team works at the intersection of real-time 3D, physics simulation and industrial data: photoreal environments built in Unreal Engine, physics and sensor models that behave like real world hardware, and USD, CAD and IoT pipelines that keep the twin faithful to the asset it represents. This is a role for an engineer who moved into program leadership and kept the engineering instinct. You will sit in design and architecture reviews rather than status meetings alone, scope work alongside the people writing the code, call the trade-offs between fidelity, performance and schedule, and hold a roadmap steady while the technology underneath it moves quickly. If you have shipped real-time simulation software and would rather shape how a platform gets built than write every line of it yourself, this is where that experience compounds.

Responsibilities

• Own the program plan for the Digital Twin Platform: define scope and goals with engineering leads and stakeholders, sequence dependencies across the real-time 3D, simulation and data integration workstreams, and set the milestones the roadmap is measured against.
• Plan, prioritize and adjust delivery schedule, scope, resourcing and quality as requirements evolve, making explicit and defensible trade-offs between simulation fidelity, runtime performance and release commitments.
• Act as the central point of contact for technical and business issues across the program, participating in design and architecture reviews, translating engineering constraints for stakeholders and business priorities for engineers.
• Identify, track and mitigate technical risk early, including asset and content pipelines, engine and toolchain upgrades, GPU and hardware dependencies, third-party licensing. Be ready to escalate with a recommended course of action.
• Coordinate the activities of domestic and international engineering, design and data teams; negotiate resource and dependency conflicts constructively and keep commitments aligned across groups and functions at SAS.
• Maintain program documentation including plans, schedules, risk registers and status reporting, and communicate progress, decisions and changes to senior and executive management.
• Keep current with state-of-the-art real-time simulation technologies, standards and practices, and transfer that knowledge to the wider program and project management community at SAS.
• Ensure all applicable security policies and processes are followed to support the organization's secure software development goals.
• Embrace curiosity, passion, authenticity and accountability. These are our values and influence everything we do.
