Job Description:

Your Work Shapes the World at Caterpillar Inc.

When you join Caterpillar, you're joining a global team who cares not just about the work we do – but also about each other. We are the makers, problem solvers, and future world builders who are creating stronger, more sustainable communities. We don't just talk about progress and innovation here – we make it happen, with our customers, where we work and live. Together, we are building a better world, so we can all enjoy living in it.

Role Summary

Caterpillar is seeking an engineering leader to manage the team responsible for advancing Remote Flash, Caterpillar's capability for remotely delivering software updates to connected equipment.

Remote Flash enables software updates to be delivered directly to Caterpillar products without requiring a technician to physically access the machine, helping reduce service effort, improve equipment uptime, and accelerate deployment of software improvements.

The Remote Flash Team Manager will lead an engineering team responsible for the architecture, development, integration, validation, and deployment of the next generation of remote software update capabilities. The role combines strong people leadership with software and systems engineering leadership across connected products, embedded systems, cloud/back-office services, and Caterpillar product programs.

The team is entering an important technology transition. The Remote Flash roadmap includes NexGen platforms, 5G integration, enhanced flashing of control ECMs, orchestration of multi-component updates, and continued support for legacy equipment.

What You Will Do

People and Engineering Leadership

  • Lead, coach, and develop a multidisciplinary engineering team globally.
  • Establish clear technical objectives, ownership, priorities, and engineering expectations.
  • Build capability in embedded software, connected systems, cloud integration, systems engineering, DevSecOps, validation, and remote software update technologies.
  • Develop technical leaders and create career growth opportunities within the team.
  • Foster an engineering culture focused on accountability, collaboration, technical excellence, quality, and continuous improvement.

Remote Flash Engineering

  • Lead engineering delivery of Caterpillar's Remote Flash capabilities across connected products.
  • Drive development of next-generation remote software update architecture, including NexGen & 5G Radio.
  • These capabilities are reflected in the current Remote Flash roadmap and architecture work.
  • Ensure solutions account for Caterpillar's diverse equipment population, embedded controllers, communication technologies, machine architectures, and legacy products.
  • Guide engineering decisions involving update orchestration, rollback and recovery, software compatibility, cybersecurity, diagnostics, telemetry, and deployment reliability.
  • Drive system-level design and integration across on-machine software and enterprise/back-office systems.

Delivery and Operational Excellence

  • Own execution of engineering roadmaps from requirements through development, integration, validation, release, and production support.
  • Establish measurable engineering and operational KPIs for quality, reliability, deployment success, cycle time, and customer impact.
  • Improve engineering practices through automation, CI/CD, automated validation, modern source control, and effective use of engineering data.
  • Use field performance and failure data to identify systemic issues and continuously improve Remote Flash reliability.

Cross-Functional Leadership

  • Partner with product groups, embedded controls teams, connectivity teams, enterprise software teams, cybersecurity, digital product organizations, dealers, and external engineering partners.
  • Translate product and customer needs into scalable technical capabilities.
  • Lead technical trade-off and prioritization discussions involving architecture, cost, schedule, risk, and long-term maintainability.
  • Communicate technical strategy, delivery status, risks, and recommendations to engineering and business leadership.

What You Have

Required

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
  • Significant experience leading engineering or software development teams.
  • Experience delivering complex distributed, embedded, connected-product, or cloud-integrated systems.
  • Demonstrated ability to lead engineers through architecture, development, integration, validation, and production deployment.
  • Strong technical problem-solving and systems-thinking skills.
  • Experience working across organizations and influencing technical decisions without relying solely on direct authority.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills.

Preferred

  • Experience with embedded Linux, embedded controllers/ECMs, telematics, connected products, or IoT systems.
  • Experience with OTA or remote software update systems.
  • Experience with update orchestration, A/B software deployment, bootloaders, rollback/recovery, software signing, or secure software distribution.
  • Experience with cloud-connected vehicle, machine, industrial, or edge-computing architectures.
  • Experience with Agile software development, Git/GitHub, CI/CD, automated testing, and DevSecOps.
  • Experience leading globally distributed engineering teams.
  • Experience with construction, mining, industrial, automotive, or other complex connected equipment.

Why This Role Matters

Software is becoming an increasingly important part of Caterpillar products. The ability to safely update software remotely at scale reduces equipment downtime and support cost while allowing Caterpillar to deliver improvements more rapidly.

This manager will build and lead the engineering organization responsible for making remote software updates a reliable, scalable capability across current and future Caterpillar products.
