Drive new platform technologies across the full stack: embedded OS, platform drivers, middleware, sensor integration, and validation.
Run automotive software development and releases in a highly dynamic environment, maintaining quality across rapid release cadences.
Translate deep embedded and SW knowledge into actionable program structures — defining scope, roadmaps, schedules, and milestones.
Identify and resolve risks and issues that affect release scope, schedule, and quality, especially those spanning SW/HW boundaries.
Identify and lead multi-functional dependencies proactively, including those spanning global engineering teams.
Improve processes and procedures within the team; streamline day-to-day operations with an eye for scalable engineering workflow using AI.
Communicate regularly with team members to set shared expectations and provide timely updates on progress, risks, and decisions.
What We Need to See
BS/MS in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience).
12+ years of proven experience, with at least 8 years in Technical Program Management driving software engineering programs and releasing commercial products.
Solid understanding of embedded systems software: OS fundamentals (Linux, QNX, or similar RTOS), platform drivers, sensor middleware, and SW/HW integration.
Strong technical competence to engage deeply with engineering teams, debug program-level issues, and make sound trade-off calls across SW and HW domains.
Consistent track record of delivering scalable, complex programs in fast-paced, multi-functional environments.
Strong communication, organizational, and leadership skills — you can translate deep technical complexity into streamlined executive updates and drive alignment across large organizations.
Ways to stand out from the crowd
You have shipped embedded software in automotive, robotics, or a related domain to get software running reliably on constrained, safety-relevant hardware.
Direct experience in autonomous vehicle platform development, including ADAS software integration, sensor fusion stacks, or platform validation.
Familiarity with automotive-grade software standards (ISO 26262, ASPICE, or equivalent) and how they interact with program execution.
Background leading global programs across time zones with geographically distributed engineering teams.
Expertise in Agile and Scrum methodology; PMP or Scrum Master certification is a plus, with proficiency with Jira and PMP tools with agility and scale.
