  • Monitor deployment health, adoption, update success and failure rates, version distribution, and exception trends.
  • Create dashboards and reporting that provide visibility into release performance, customer impact, and operational risk.
  • Drive recovery efforts for unsuccessful or stalled deployments and ensure issues are resolved through closure.
  • Lead post-release reviews, root cause analysis, and continuous improvement initiatives.
  • Serve as the primary owner and coordination point for legacy OTA platforms and migration-related activities.
  • Translate technical risks and system behavior into clear business impacts and customer-facing recommendations.
  • Manage vendor relationships, release dependencies, service expectations, and escalations.

What You'll Need

  • Bachelor's degree in Business, Engineering, Computer Science, Information Systems, Product Management, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
  • 5+ years of experience in Product Management, Technical Program Management, Device Lifecycle Management, or a related field.
  • Experience coordinating customer-facing software or firmware releases across cross-functional teams.
  • Experience defining release requirements, rollout plans, readiness criteria, deployment metrics, and escalation processes.
  • Working knowledge of embedded firmware, connected-device ecosystems, OTA update systems, cloud services, and release pipelines.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to assess risk and make data-driven decisions.
