B.Tech. or equivalent degree in CS/CE/IT/ECE/EEE or related field with 5+ years of experience in automotive engineering, testing, processes, or tools development.
Strong understanding of ASPICE, ISO 26262 concepts, and automotive development & verification workflows (requirements design implementation test release).
Experience working with Jama, DOORS, Jira, or similar ALM/PLM tools, especially for requirements management, traceability, and verification tracking.
Proven ability to lead small to mid-sized teams, work with diverse stakeholders, and drive process alignment and continuous improvement.
Excellent communication, documentation, and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to break down complex process topics into actionable steps.

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

Hands-on web development skills with Angular/React (or similar), Node.js/NestJS, TypeScript / Python, and MongoDB/SQL for enhancing internal tools.
Understanding of or experience integrating lifecycle tools (Jama/DOORS/Jira) using REST APIs, GraphQL, or CLI automation for data synchronization or reporting pipelines.
Familiarity with DevOps workflows including GitLab/Jenkins CI, Docker, Kubernetes, and cloud deployments (AWS preferred).
Prior experience owning an internal process/tool/platform-creating roadmaps, planning sprints, triaging issues, and delivering improvements end-to-end.
Strong presentation and leadership communication, including demoing features, writing clear technical summaries, and aligning multiple teams on process improvements.
