  • Establish standard reports to provide concise and effective communications to key stakeholders on program status, issues/risks, and accomplishments
  • Ensure problems are transparent and risks are identified
  • Proactively mitigate and retire risk with engineering teams
  • Support key decisions working cross-functionally across engineering, finance, and strategy to reach the right conclusions

Qualifications

  • BS or MS degree in Engineering or Computer Science or equivalent job experience + minimum of 7 years of experience in program management of technical programs or engineering technical leadership.
  • Proficiency using JIRA or other issue tracking tools
  • Experience generating project/program plans, gantt charts, identifying critical paths, and iterating with cross functional teams to deliver results
  • Familiarity with large scale software development processes
  • Strong track-record in managing complex cross-functional projects

Bonus Qualifications

  • Experience with software pipeline infrastructures, machine learning, or simulation
  • Experience with safety critical or high integrity systems
