  • Identify and communicate risks to stakeholders, continuously evaluating schedule impact and mitigation options.
  • Partner with finance and senior leadership on resource allocation, headcount, and budget planning.
  • Collaborate with engineers, procurement, vendors, and stakeholders to gather requirements, deploy new tools, and track performance.
  • Maintain and enhance the Diagnostics Tooling Program, ensuring compliance, continuous improvement, and fleet support.
Qualifications
  • BS or MS in engineering (electrical/electronics, computer hardware, software, or related fields)
  • 8+ years of industry experience in a similar role, spanning engineering or project management
  • Excellent communication skills across diverse audiences (senior management, engineers) using written and verbal methods as appropriate
  • Prior experience in working with contract manufacturers, automotive suppliers 
  • Knowledge of testing and servicing electronic assemblies
Bonus Qualifications
  • Experience in an automotive service environment, with deep technical knowledge of automotive components, diagnostics, and harnesses.
  • Proficiency in project management and data tools, including Google Suite, Jira, Gantt charts, and the ability to distill complex technical information clearly.
  • Familiarity with programming and data analysis (Python, SQL, Linux) and a track record of managing complex projects in autonomous vehicle companies.
