- Partner with program, product, and engineering leaders to turn top-down strategy and ambiguous goals into executable plans with defined scope, milestones, accountable owners, and measurable outcomes.
- Establish and run program governance, including planning, execution tracking, risk management, and reporting, so teams and leadership always know where each program stands.
- Drive cross-functional delivery of software features across engineering, test and validation, regulatory, and customer teams, resolving the most complex interdependencies and systemic risks.
- Build strong partnerships with leaders across software, testing, regulatory affairs, and vehicle programs.
- Serve as the primary escalation point and senior representative in cross-functional and executive forums, giving leadership concise updates that turn complex technical and regulatory risks into clear decision points and recommendations.
What we need to see:
- BS/MS Computer Science, Electrical Engineering or related field (or equivalent experience)
- 4+ years of experience leading a team
- 8+ years of overall relevant experience
- Proven experience in Automotive, Perception, Path Planning, robotics and/or AI.
- Strong leadership and interpersonal skills. Demonstrated ability to collaborate on global projects across teams and time zones.
Ways to stand out from the crowd:
- Proven experience leading end-to-end development of ADAS or self-driving features
