## Description

You will work at the intersection of software, systems engineering, embedded controls and vehicle-program execution. Your leadership will help transform complex technical strategy into coordinated delivery, reliable infrastructure and better outcomes for engineering teams and customers.

Role Details

The Senior Technical Program Manager, Mechatronic Infrastructure, will own execution for one or more basic software (BSW) and infrastructure-tooling products that support existing and future electrical architectures. This is a highly collaborative technical program leadership role for someone who can move comfortably between product strategy, engineering detail and day-to-day execution.

You will establish clear plans, align stakeholders, make risks visible and drive decisions across product, engineering, systems and business teams. Success will require a customer-centered mindset, strong technical judgment, disciplined follow-through and the ability to lead through changing scope, ambiguity and setbacks without relying solely on formal authority.

Key Responsibilities

· Own deliverables for one or more basic software (BSW) and/or infrastructure-tooling products.

· Partner with product, engineering, systems and business stakeholders to scope and deliver enterprise-scale infrastructure programs.

· Translate corporate strategy into actionable technical roadmaps, timelines, milestones and measurable deliverables.

· Lead programs from requirements definition through deployment, including scope, schedule, implementation planning, dependencies and risk mitigation.

· Coordinate internal and external resources to ensure programs meet scope, schedule, budget and quality commitments.

· Establish the operating rhythm for program execution, including intake, prioritization, ownership, handoffs, issue escalation and decision-making.

· Identify technical, organizational and schedule risks; surface trade-offs early and provide leadership with concise status, options and recommendations.

· Analyze and report program health and revise scope, schedule or budget when needed to achieve program objectives.

· Create and maintain core program documentation, including execution plans, product-lifecycle plans, decision records, readiness criteria and status reporting.

· Lead process creation and documentation for program-related activities and drive continuous improvement.

· Establish and maintain relationships with client and engineering stakeholders, serving as a day-to-day point of contact for program status, decisions and changes.

· Translate complex engineering issues into clear business decisions and actionable commitments for technical and senior leadership forums.
