Technical Project Manager

Responsibilities

Own the delivery status of specific attribute roadmap milestones. You ensure that 'on track' is a reality, not just a status color, by identifying and clearing blockers before they stall progress; Work 1:1 with engineering and test leads to surface local execution risks — such as vehicle downtime, instrumentation delays, or hardware shortages — and implement immediate recovery plans; Run, maintain, and continuously improve our JIRA structures, sprint cadences, and reporting rituals. Your goal is to create a system that allows engineers to focus on engineering while self-coordinating through your framework; Manage and disposition all cross-functional requests, ensuring dependencies between stakeholders are clearly defined and closed; Translate moving targets and technical complexities into concise, actionable updates for leadership

2+ years of experience in project management and a Bachelor's in Business, Communications, Engineering, or a related field; Experience with resource management software (e.g., JIRA) to develop project plans and track asset availability against timelines; Successful track record of delivering multiple complex automotive technical projects in parallel; High degree of understanding of vehicle testing and development. You should understand system interactions and dependencies; Familiarity with prototype or pre-production vehicle testing and development; Expert-level ability to structure boards, workflows, and dashboards that provide real-time visibility into project health without creating 'admin debt' for engineers; A 'closer' mentality with a high sense of ownership. You are known for closing loops without supervision and preventing scope creep in fast-moving environments; Calm under pressure, concise in communication, and capable of synthesizing shifting priorities into a clear path forward

Nice to have
