About The Position

Create process, methods and tool architecture for our product configuration, change, variant, release and sign-off management in a Software Defined Vehicle (SDV) context. E nsure a seamless "Digital Thread" and Systems Engineering traceability from vehicle feature requirement to the Over-the-Air (OTA) deployment. This in strong collaboration across boundaries with Homologation, Quality, Systems Architecture, Integration, HW development, DevOps and OTA systems translating their diverse needs into elegant, effective process, methods and tool solutions. Build out and implement processes for configuration and release management for the entire product portfolio: from pure software to complex ECU hardware and its combination, ensuring a consistent "Single Source of Truth" (BOM & SBOM) across the product lifecycle. Integrate configuration and release management solutions into the broader tool landscape (PLM, ALM, CI/CD).

Requirements

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Systems Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related fields.
• 10+ years in a technical leadership role, architecting configuration & release systems for complex product development / embedded systems (distinct from internal Enterprise IT / ITIL infrastructure).
• Expert knowledge of UNECE R156 (SUMS) and ISO 26262.
• Strong communication and leadership skills
• Excellent ability to zoom out and understand long term goals

Nice To Haves

• Experience at a "Software-First" OEM or a High-Tech Tier-1 is highly desirable. You have lived through the challenges of OTA at speed and know what a mature CI/CD pipeline looks like.
• Alternatively, experience in eVTOL / Urban Air Mobility, New Space, or MedTech is highly valued. We look for candidates who have successfully bridged the gap between agile velocity and strict safety certification (e.g., DO-178C, IEC 62304).
• You execute compliance through automated workflows ("Compliance-as-Code"), not via manual documentation.
