- Proven experience managing complex, large-scale embedded systems projects.
- Hands-on experience in embedded software/hardware development is highly desirable.
- Technical Skills:
- Strong understanding of embedded systems architecture, real-time operating systems (RTOS), and hardware-software co-design.
- Familiarity with automotive standards such as AUTOSAR, ISO 26262 (functional safety), and CAN protocols.
- Knowledge of project management tools like JIRA, MS Project, or similar platforms.
- Leadership Skills: Strong leadership, communication, and interpersonal skills with the ability to manage multiple stakeholders across different technical areas.
- Problem Solving: Excellent problem-solving abilities, with a track record of proactively identifying and resolving technical and project-related challenges.
- Agility & Adaptability: Ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment, adapt to changing requirements, and manage multiple projects simultaneously.
