.Role: Automotive (Vehicle) Technical Program Manager (TPM)Location: Betim, Minas Gerais, Brazil (Onsite)Type of Hire: Full TimeStart Date: ImmediateBASIC QUALIFICATIONS: Bachelor's degree in computer science or a related field. 10+ years of working directly with engineering teams experience. 7+ years of technical product or program management experience. 5+ years of software development experience. 5+ years of technical program management working directly with software engineering teams experience.TPM Roles and Responsibilities:Principal Technical Program Management (Typically 10+ years of experience) Hands on experience managing end to vehicle product development life cycle (hardware & software). Own planning and delivery of software built on the vehicle. Domain expert on the vehicle architecture. Dive deep to solve highly technical and complex strategic problems, get involved in design and architectural decision-making, and provide data-driven recommendations to improve the design and architecture. Understands system limitations, scaling factors, boundary conditions, and/or the reasons for architectural decisions (Q. Why did we build X in this way? What business assumptions were made? What technical assumptions were made? Do we need to build something else– if so why?). Knows how to decouple dependencies (e.G., SOA best practices), prevents duplicate efforts and collisions/outages, Has technical judgment; uses it to inform technology and business trade-offs. Capable of holding an engineering team to a high standard for both solutions and engineering practices (similar to a senior engineer or technical manager). Knows how to make sure engineering teams are focused on the right solutions for the customer and organization. Understands the consequences of short-term solutions and impact on long-term architecture. Able to simplify concurrent project delivery, including development and testing processes for projects that cross team boundaries. Has deep knowledge of core system technology in program domain and/or broad understanding of company systems/technologies. Applies this technical knowledge to invent, evolve, improve, simplify, etc. Knows how to drive large-scale engineering efforts that solve significantly complex or endemic problems. Able to identify gaps/opportunities within or between countries, architectures, and organizations (e.G., services, workflows, tooling) to satisfy the needs of program/product customers. Understands how to decompose complex processes into straight-forward solutions, often inventing new ones. Consistently brings strong, data-driven business and technical judgment to decisions. Recognizes when designs/solutions require additional technical guidance (e.G., from senior engineers or subject matter experts). Able to make the case for technology programs. Influences teams to dedicate resources and leads the effort (or finds appropriate owner). Knows how to reduce coupling between teams
