    • Ensure the program goals are aligned with business objectives, build and sustain momentum among cross-functional TPMs and workstreams towards delivering on time and on target
    • Maintain a technical understanding of our vehicle platforms, software lifecycle, safety clearance process, and test operations

Qualifications

    • 10+ years of experience in engineering, program management, or management consulting with a focus on product launches
    • Success in driving complex SW/HW integration processes and optimizations and leading complex cross-functional programs end to end
    • Comfortable leading through ambiguity and enabling teams to perform in this environment
    • Proficient in tools or processes required to manage complex projects (i.e., Gantt chart, risk matrix, Smartsheet, Jira, etc.)
    • Excellent written, presentation, and verbal communication skills are a must, ability to create visualizations of KPIs and program risks
