This leader will work closely with development, product, design, systems, and release stakeholders to improve test coverage, reduce launch risk, and deliver high-quality customer-facing software experiences.

What You'll Do

  • Lead and develop a team of software quality and automation engineers responsible for connected applications and adjacent experience-verification scope across multiple programs and releases.

  • Drive test planning and execution for customer-facing experiences such as TCPS, Subscription Manager, MyBrand, Server Push Notifications, Passenger Controls, Quick Remote, and other connected app features.

  • Partner with software development teams, product managers, designers, and peer quality leaders to clarify requirements, identify gaps and overlaps, and align ownership across system-level and component-level testing.

  • Lead the team through issue triage, defect prioritization, and early root-cause analysis, especially when urgent software issues threaten validation timing or launch readiness.

  • Build and scale automation for smoke, sanity, regression, and pre-build workflows; use dashboards and data to improve visibility, coverage, and execution efficiency.

  • Support bench, vehicle, and test-environment readiness to ensure the team can execute validation effectively across programs and hardware configurations.

  • Help shape practical, scalable processes for traceability, test ownership, reporting, and cross-functional readiness reviews.

  • Communicate status, risks, staffing needs, and tradeoffs clearly to leadership, peers, and partner teams using concise, data-driven updates.

  • Foster a culture of accountability, technical excellence, collaboration, and continuous improvement across quality engineering and automation practices.

  • Hire, coach, and develop employees; set expectations, provide feedback, support career growth, and strengthen the overall capability of the organization.
