Technical Product Manager; Safety & Compliance

Technology, Digital and Data

When you join Caterpillar, you're joining a global team who cares not just about the work we do - but also about each other. We are the makers, problem solvers, and future world builders who are creating stronger, more sustainable communities. We don't just talk about progress and innovation here - we make it happen, with our customers, where we work and live.

Together, we are building a better world, so we can all enjoy living in it.

At Caterpillar, technology always has a purpose, which is to solve our customers' toughest challenges. Through Cat Technology, we are solving problems by building the intelligence layer that connects machines, data, and people to make jobsites safer, more productive, and more sustainable. By combining deep domain expertise in physical systems with software, connectivity, autonomy, and AI, we deliver solutions that work in the real world-on real jobsites, at global scale.

You will build and deploy against one of the most unique data foundations-over 1.6 million connected assets generating real-world data daily. These data and platform capabilities are enabling the development of AI models, edge computing architectures, and software systems that scale across fleets, products, and industries. The result will be a new generation of machines that continuously learn, improve, and deliver performance at scale.

The Technical Product Manager - Safety & Regulatory Compliance is responsible for defining and executing the product strategy, roadmap, requirements, and governance framework that enable autonomous, semi-autonomous, and remote-controlled construction machines to be developed, validated, deployed, and operated safely and in compliance with applicable regulatory and industry requirements. This role owns the product-level safety and compliance portfolio across the machine, autonomy system, remote-control system, supporting infrastructure, and operational environment, including safety requirements, functional safety, hazard and risk management, safety cases, regulatory readiness, compliance traceability, and certification support.

The role translates safety, regulatory, and operational risk into prioritized product capabilities and measurable acceptance criteria. It partners across Product Management, Technical Product Management, Systems Engineering, Functional Safety, Autonomy/Robotics, Machine Controls, Remote Operations, Cybersecurity, Validation, Quality, Legal/Regulatory, Architecture, and customer/site teams to ensure safety is engineered as an end‑to‑end system property rather than treated as a final compliance activity for autonomous and remote‑controlled construction machines.

• Own and prioritize the Safety & Regulatory Compliance product backlog based on customer and business value, safety objectives, hazard severity, risk reduction, regulatory obligations, and program maturity.
• Define the safety and compliance product roadmap for autonomous, semi-autonomous, and remote-controlled construction machine capabilities from proof of concept through production deployment and lifecycle support.
• Partner with the Safety & Regulations division to translate applicable standards, regulations, corporate policies, safety analyses, and operational constraints into product requirements, functional requirements, acceptance criteria, and release criteria for autonomous, semi-autonomous, and remote-controlled construction machines, while monitoring changes to applicable regulations and standard and assess product and roadmap impact.
• Lead product-level safety planning and cross-functional hazard…
