Full Job Description
## In this role, you will Orchestrate the Requirements Pipeline: Manage the release train, maturity lifecycle, and governance for all System Technical Specifications (STS) across all program gates from PI to OKTB. You don’t write the specs, but you ensure the Systems Engineers have the cross-functional inputs they need from all stakeholders in order to meet strict vehicle milestone deadlines. Drive SFMEA Execution & Accountability: Act as the operational owner of the System Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (SFMEA) lifecycle. Schedule and facilitate multi-disciplinary workshops, track open action items to strict closure dates, and ensure safety mitigations are integrated into downstream hardware/software schedules. Cross-Functional Dependency Mapping: Build and maintain the master dependency matrix linking Studio (styling/packaging), Product, SDMA (Safety), VSE, VI and Validation. Proactively identify and resolve timeline disconnects before they stall engineering progress. Change Control & Impact Governance: Lead the program management of Engineering Change Requests (ECRs) at the system level. Ensure that when a requirement changes, all affected downstream stakeholders (from firmware to validation teams) are brought to the table to evaluate timeline and resource impacts. Maturity Gate Tracking & Reporting: Define and track the health metrics of the Systems Engineering team’s deliverables (e.g., requirement stability, SFMEA action item burn-down, verification progress). Provide clear, high-density status visibility to executive leadership. ## Qualifications 8+ years of experience as a Technical Program Manager or Systems Engineer in an aerospace, autonomous vehicle, or advanced automotive setting, with a proven track record of driving complex, cross-functional projects from requirements through validation. Deep, practical familiarity with the systems engineering "V-model" lifecycle, fail-operational architectures, and requirements management frameworks. Proven experi
