- Experience with AI/ML, autonomous vehicles, computer vision, large language models, reinforcement learning, simulation, or automotive/aerospace processes
- Deep familiarity with software development processes, plus understanding of HW development cycles and build phases
- Skill with program tools and methods such as Gantt charts, risk matrices, Smartsheet and JIRA
- A strong track record of managing complex cross-functional projects and solving problems
- The ability to keep the big picture in view and to communicate clearly and concisely for each audience
