About the role

We are looking for a Technical Program Manager to stand up and run program management across multiple high-priority automotive engagements from our Stuttgart hub. This role requires deep technical credibility, direct customer ownership, and the ability to build structure from scratch in a fast-moving environment.

You will operate across supplier engagements, OEM programs, and internal delivery teams – translating ambiguous asks into tracked, executable work and representing Applied Intuition directly with customers and partners.

At Applied Intuition, you will:

• Stand up and run program management – define milestones, own timelines and deliverables, manage sprint and roadmap execution for software development teams through series production
• Manage supplier relationships at Tier-1 and Tier-2 level; hold partners accountable to schedule and quality commitments
• Serve as the primary customer contact for EMEA OEMs; translate requirements into tracked engineering work and provide structured, regular updates
• Coordinate across internal and external teams; align technical roadmaps, unblock cross-team dependencies, and support international roll-outs
• Drive issues to closure – own problem-solving and decision-making across teams and sites

We're looking for someone who has:

• 5+ years in technical program management or engineering within the automotive industry, ideally with hands‑on experience at an OEM or Tier‑1 supplier
• Proven supplier management experience – able to hold Tier‑1 and Tier‑2 partners to schedule and quality commitments
• Strong customer‑facing presence; comfortable representing Applied Intuition independently with OEMs and executive stakeholders
• Technical depth in embedded systems, middleware, or ADAS – enough to assess feasibility and engage engineers credibly
• Builder mindset: able to set up program structure from scratch with minimal existing scaffolding
• Ability to operate independently across sites and time zones
• Stuttgart‑based or open to relocation; fluent in German and English

Nice to have:

• Prior experience in a startup or high‑growth environment.
• Familiarity with automotive development standards (ASPICE, ISO 26262, AUTOSAR).
• Background in series production programs or SDS/ADAS platform delivery.

Benefits:

• 30 days of paid vacation per year
• Daily meal benefits: €19 lunch budget and €19 dinner budget, free breakfast, snacks, and drinks in the office
• You’ll receive €965 annual learning & development and €580 annual fitness budget
• Subsidized Wellpass membership, giving you access to thousands of gyms, studios, and wellness facilities across Germany
• €25 monthly contribution to your Deutschlandticket for regional public transport across Germany
• Generous parental leave: on top of statutory parental leave
