• Lead project-specific software verification and validation planning, including required documentation and leadership alignment, while ensuring Controls Process of Engineering activities are completed to program milestones and quality expectations.

• Identify, track, and resolve technical blockers, resource constraints, coordination gaps, and program risks-including memory and CPU tradeoffs-engaging subject matter experts and escalating when necessary.

• Support root-cause investigations and corrective-action leadership for critical integration and launch issues, ensuring timely ownership and closure.

• Foster, document, and scale best practices that improve software quality, development efficiency, integration effectiveness, and execution consistency.

• Represent software integration in leadership reviews and cross-functional forums, and train, coach, and mentor team members in integration leadership, structured problem solving, and effective execution.

• Demonstrated experience leading complex technical workstreams, projects, or cross-functional initiatives in a product development environment.

• Strong understanding of real-time embedded systems and the interactions among software, hardware, calibration, and validation activities.

• Demonstrated ability to build executable plans, manage technical dependencies, and deliver results in a complex and demanding development environment.

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, including the ability to work through unusual or difficult issues with incomplete information.

• Experience leading meetings, driving alignment, and influencing peers, partners, and suppliers without direct authority.

• Working knowledge of embedded software development and integration practices, including software builds, testing, validation, configuration management, and issue tracking.

• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to communicate technical status, risks, and recommendations clearly to leadership and cross-functional stakeholders.

What Will Give You A Competitive Edge (Preferred Qualifications):

• Master's degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, Software Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field.

• Understanding of vehicle electrical architecture, communication networks, and the broader Software Defined Vehicle landscape.

• Experience integrating software, hardware, calibration, and validation activities across multiple teams or organizations.

• Experience leading cross-functional initiatives with high technical complexity, aggressive timing, and multiple stakeholders.

• Experience working with suppliers and external engineering partners.

• Familiarity with configuration management systems, build tools, and issue-tracking workflows.

• Experience in propulsion, chassis, brakes, or other automotive control systems.

• Experience in design release, calibration, controls validation, or related vehicle integration functions.
