About the role

- This is a high-visibility role where you will be accountable for the "go/no-go" criteria of releases.
Responsibilities
- Own end-to-end validation strategy, translating customer requirements into cross-domain validation plans spanning Embedded, UX/HMI, and OTA.
- Lead system-level Customer Acceptance Testing (CAT), including planning, execution, entry/exit criteria, and release readiness.

- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field
- Strong ability to synthesize complex requirements into actionable validation plans.
- Strong program/project management instincts, with a track record of driving cross-functional alignment.
- Demonstrated experience owning end-to-end release readiness and formal acceptance processes (e.g., Customer Acceptance Testing).
- Exceptional stakeholder management skills-comfortable influencing customers, TPMs, and engineering leads.
- Comfortable working across multiple engineering domains without needing deep specialization in every one.
Nice to have
- Experience with automotive OTA, AUTOSAR/embedded, or HMI validation.
