Key Responsibilities & Deliverables:
This role is focused on the successful completion of specific tasks and deliverables. Your responsibilities will include:
- Translate Strategy to Roadmap: Working with department leaders to translate the top-down corporate strategy and milestones into detailed product road maps, timelines, and deliverables.
- Team Enablement: Ensuring engineering teams understand their priorities and have the tools and organizational frameworks in place to execute at all times.
- Process & Reporting: Defining and managing process and regular meetings, and establishing standard reports to provide concise and effective communications to key stakeholders on program status, issues/risks, and accomplishments.
- Risk Management: Ensuring problems are transparent and risks are identified and proactively ensuring that risk mitigating actions are ongoing within the engineering teams.
- Decision & Planning Support: Setting the agenda for key decisions to be made at each meeting to eliminate bottlenecks and retire risks, and driving quarterly planning to ensure team goals meet company initiatives.

- 5+ years of experience in engineering, program management, or management consulting.
- Deep expertise in software, hardware, or automotive development processes, and a strong understanding of firmware development and architecture. This isn't a learning role—you need to be a subject matter expert.
