  • Support senior leadership with program summaries, KPI tracking, and executive presentations.
  • Requirements & Change Management

  • Partner with System and Software Engineering teams to ensure requirements, specifications, and validation plans align with program intent.

  • Oversee documentation quality and configuration management in compliance with ASPICE, ISO 26262, and internal governance processes.
  • Performance Tracking & Continuous Improvement

  • Define and monitor KPIs (schedule adherence, defect trends, validation coverage, software maturity).
  • Leverage data analytics to drive continuous improvement in development efficiency, issue closure rate, and cross-functional communication.
  • Identify opportunities to streamline processes, automate reporting, and enhance team coordination tools.
  • Leadership & Culture

  • Foster a culture of accountability, collaboration, and proactive problem solving across all partner teams.
  • Mentor junior program leads and engineers on project management discipline and cross-functional communication.
