• Translate customer insights, usability research, and telemetry into product requirements, success metrics, and experiments (A/B tests, clinics, simulator/on-road studies). 

• Lead cross-functional execution with Design, Engineering, Program, Legal, Safety, and Quality; manage tradeoffs between customer value, cost, technical feasibility, and schedule. 

• Ensure compliance alignment for safety-related content and driver assistance messaging (definitions, disclaimers, and human factors considerations) in collaboration with Legal/Compliance. 

• Drive continuous improvement through post-launch monitoring, defect triage, and feature iteration; communicate status and decisions clearly to executive and working-team stakeholders. 

Yours Skills & Abilities (Required Qualifications):

• 5+ years of product management experience delivering technology products (embedded, mobile, web, UX, interface, or platform), including defining requirements and road maps. 

• Demonstrated ability to lead cross-functional teams and influence without authority across design, engineering, program management, and stakeholders. 

• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to synthesize user needs, business goals, and technical constraints into clear narratives. 

• Experience using data and research to make decisions (metrics, instrumentation, customer research, usability/human factors inputs). 

• Comfort operating in ambiguity and making principled tradeoffs to meet safety, customer experience, and business objectives. 

What Can Give You a Competitive Edge (Preferred Qualifications):

• Experience with in-vehicle HMI, HUD/cluster/infotainment, or ADAS UX, including driver attention and safety-critical alerting considerations. 

• Familiarity with display/optics constraints (brightness, ghosting, field of view, image distance) and how they impact user experience and requirements. 

• Experience partnering with Safety/Systems, Legal/Regulatory, and Quality teams to ship features with compliance considerations.
