Job description

Role: Technical Program Manager (TPM) – EE/SW Integration & Release

Location: Charlotte, NC, USA

Technical Program Manager (TPM) with deep expertise in EE integration, and embedded software integration for modern vehicle platforms. This role combines hands‑on technical understanding with program leadership, ensuring that electronic control units (ECUs), networks, and software stacks integrate seamlessly and meet all functional, safety, and quality requirements. Drive vehicle‑level system integration, coordinating embedded software releases, ECU hardware maturity, diagnostics, validation, and compliance activities. Work directly with software engineers, systems engineers, validation teams, and suppliers to ensure robust delivery.

Roles and Responsibilities

• Drive EE/SW integration activities for prototype, pre-production, and production builds.
• Manage ECU-level and network-level integration issues across CAN, LIN, FlexRay, and Automotive Ethernet.
• Ensure bootloader, flashing, and software update processes (OTA or UDS-based) are fully validated.
• Oversee network bring-up, diagnostics verification, and DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code) testing.
• Align interface control documents (ICDs), network description files (DBC, LDF, FIBEX, ARXML), and ensure configuration consistency.
• Review ECU software release notes to confirm feature completeness and backward compatibility.
• Coordinate SIL (Software-in-the-Loop), HIL (Hardware-in-the-Loop), and full vehicle integration testing.
• Drive test automation and regression coverage for system-level functionality using tools such as dSPACE, Vector CANoe/CANalyzer, ETAS LABCAR, or NI Veristand.
• Ensure test results are traceable to system and software requirements.
• Track power consumption, network load, wake‑up/sleep, and timing analysis during integration phases.
• Own open issue dashboards (JIRA, ALM, or similar) and ensure clear root cause tracking with engineering teams.
• Support change management and version control (Git, SVN, or PTC tools) to maintain ECU software integrity.
• Validate that ASIL-level software components meet ISO 26262 compliance requirements.
• Coordinate FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) and DFMEA closure for integration‑related issues.
• Interface with EE design teams, SW developers, calibration engineers, and supplier integration teams to align dependencies.
• Communicate integration readiness metrics (flash status, network stability, regression pass rates) to leadership.
• Prepare gate review documentation, highlighting technical maturity and open risk items before release.
