  • Provide clear status, risk, dependency, and escalation reporting for technical and executive audiences, translating complex software and certification issues into actionable program plans.
  • Drive concurrent execution across framework, apps, projection, certification, and release readiness workstreams while helping engineering teams prioritize critical path deliverables.
  • Improve software delivery practices, certification tracking, documentation, dashboards, and cross-functional operating rhythms for the infotainment software organization.

  • Experience delivering Apple CarPlay and/or Android Auto programs, including certification planning, test execution, bug triage, exception handling, and reviewer communications.
  • Strong understanding of infotainment domains such as Android Framework, media, audio routing, projection, app lifecycle, HMI/UX integration, and vehicle signal interfaces.
  • Experienced in using Jira, Jama, Confluence, test management systems, and release dashboards to manage cross-functional software execution.
