About The Position

The Software Product Engineer (SPE) is a senior feature delivery leader within in-vehicle infotainment, responsible for translating product vision and design intent into executable software backlogs and driving end-to-end delivery across the in-vehicle digital experience. This includes the User Interface (UI) and User Experience (UX) layers, as well as supporting middleware, services, and vehicle integration—particularly for electrification-related features such as charging, energy management, range insights, and battery status. Operating at the intersection of Product, Design, Engineering, and Electrification, the SPE plays a critical leadership role in aligning cross-functional teams and ensuring high-quality feature execution. This role requires a strong understanding of engineering systems and EV domain concepts, enabling effective translation of product, technical, UX/UI, and electrification requirements into clear, actionable work items and solutions. The SPE owns and drives backlog strategy and execution within Jira, including story creation, refinement, grooming, and triage. By incorporating Product Owner responsibilities, the SPE ensures well-defined acceptance criteria, alignment with program priorities, and readiness for implementation across multiple teams. This role is accountable for cross-team coordination, dependency and risk management, and integrated validation from concept through launch, ensuring predictable program execution and high-quality release outcomes. With broad organizational influence, the SPE partners closely with Product Management, Digital Product Design, Electrification teams, engineering scrum teams, and testing organizations to ensure seamless integration, feature readiness, and a consistent, customer-centric experience across vehicle platforms.
