About the role

Early-career role to manage day-to-day execution of in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) programs for a major automotive OEM, focusing on backlog health, defect/blocker management, release tracking, and recurring reporting under guidance from a Customer Technical Program Manager.

Responsibilities

  • Own the day-to-day health of the program backlog in Jira: translate customer requirements and change requests into tracked tickets; maintain labels, scope tags, and release assignments; keep status, blockers, and blocked reasons accurate
  • Run defect and blocker management for the program - triage customer-reported issues, drive severity alignment, chase resolution across engineering teams, and prepare the recurring bug review with the customer
  • Track release scope and milestone readiness against the program plan, surface slips, at-risk features, and open dependencies early
  • Produce recurring program reporting: weekly status, delivery and story-point summaries, escalation trackers, sprint showcase material, and steering committee inputs
  • Serve as a working-level point of contact for the customer’s program and engineering counterparts on ticket status, scope questions, and dependency follow-ups
  • Maintain the program’s source of truth in Confluence - requirement-to-feature mappings, delivery trackers, decision logs, meeting notes, and process documentation
  • Support onsite integration, test bench, and bootcamp activities by coordinating schedules, logistics, and follow-ups across Applied and customer teams
  • Close loops: follow up across Slack, email, and standups until open questions are answered and commitments are documented
  • Look for leverage - automate reporting, grooming, and analysis to free time for judgment calls

Qualifications

  • 1–3 years of experience in program or project management, engineering, technical consulting, or another technical customer-facing role. Strong new graduates with relevant internship experience will be considered
  • Excellent written communication and judgment to escalate or resolve independently
  • Comfort working directly with an external customer, including in challenging meetings
  • Strong organizational instincts and proactive tracking discipline
  • Technical literacy to follow engineering discussions about software features, builds, releases, and integration issues
  • Hands-on experience with Jira and Confluence, or ability to learn quickly
  • Willingness to work across time zones with globally distributed teams
  • Bachelor's degree in STEM or related field
