  • Work with component owners organizations to ensure the Electrical Architecture definitions align with component development plans as well that delivered parts support the Electrical architecture verification and validation activities.
  • Work with all relevant departments as needed to ensure the successful delivery of our goals, including the Program Management Office, SW/FW teams, HW teams, safety teams and vehicle manufacturing teams. Drive accountability
  • Provide concise and effective communications to key stakeholders on program status, issues/risks, and accomplishments, in writing and via presentations.
  • Facilitate non-technical conversations (and technical ones as needed), align team perspectives, and support the development of options matrices to help the cross-functional program team make the right decisions
  • Bring a disciplined business and meeting cadence to the program, ensuring agendas are set for critical topics to be discussed at each meeting
  • Lead the continuous improvement of development processes.
