TL;DR · Senior Optical Sensing Execution Lead

The Senior Optical Sensing Execution Lead joins the ADAS Sensors and Sensing Systems team to drive end-to-end planning, coordination, and delivery across engineering, product management, and vehicle program teams. This role serves as an operational bridge, translating strategy into executable plans for both current production programs and future launches. Key responsibilities include managing milestones, tracking risks and blockers, overseeing hardware design changes, and coordinating DV/PV test planning. The candidate will manage cross-functional dependencies involving infrastructure software, release readiness, and calibration activities while building scalable operating models and workflows. Essential skills include experience in ADAS sensor development, automotive hardware, and embedded systems. Technical proficiency with Jira Align Cloud is required to manage workload estimates and tracking. This role solves the challenge of moving from reactive execution to structured, proactive delivery for complex sensing products.

What you'll do

  • Manage end-to-end program plans including milestones, acceptance criteria, and critical-path dependencies for ADAS sensor products.
  • Lead execution rhythms such as program kickoffs, milestone reviews, and cross-functional alignment forums.
  • Track engineering health, risks, and blockers to ensure timely delivery of current production programs.
  • Coordinate hardware design changes, part number revisions, and DV/PV test planning.
  • Resolve cross-team dependencies involving infrastructure software, release readiness, testing, and calibration activities.
  • Convert product strategy and requirements into actionable execution plans for future product launches.
  • Author executive briefings and decision materials to resolve conflicts in scope, priority, or timeline.
  • Develop scalable operating models and workflows to improve how cross-functional programs are tracked and delivered.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
  • 5+ years of engineering/technical experience and/or a proven record of ADAS sensor development (3+ years).
  • Experience in ADAS, sensing systems, automotive hardware, embedded systems, or vehicle launch execution (preferred).
  • Familiarity with validation planning, release processes, and integrated hardware/software delivery (preferred).
  • Experience with Jira Align Cloud or similar planning and portfolio management tools (preferred).
  • Experience coaching or mentoring engineers in a technical organization (preferred).
  • Experience driving technical strategy or cross-functional alignment across multiple teams (preferred).
