We're turning today's impossible into tomorrow's standard -from breakthrough hardware and battery systems to intuitive design, intelligent software, and next-generation safety and entertainment features.

Every day, our products move millions of people as we aim to make driving safer, smarter, and more connected, shaping the future of transportation on a global scale.

The Role

The Senior Technical Program Manager, Mechatronic Infrastructure, will own execution for one or more basic software (BSW) and infrastructure-tooling products that support existing and future electrical architectures. This is a highly collaborative technical program leadership role for someone who can move comfortably between product strategy, engineering detail and day-to-day execution.

You will establish clear plans, align stakeholders, make risks visible and drive decisions across product, engineering, systems and business teams. Success will require a customer-centered mindset, strong technical judgment, disciplined follow-through and the ability to lead through changing scope, ambiguity and setbacks without relying solely on formal authority.

What You'll Do

• Own deliverables for one or more basic software (BSW) and/or infrastructure-tooling products.

• Partner with product, engineering, systems and business stakeholders to scope and deliver enterprise-scale infrastructure programs.

• Translate corporate strategy into actionable technical roadmaps, timelines, milestones and measurable deliverables.

• Lead programs from requirements definition through deployment, including scope, schedule, implementation planning, dependencies and risk mitigation.

• Coordinate internal and external resources to ensure programs meet scope, schedule, budget and quality commitments.

• Establish the operating rhythm for program execution, including intake, prioritization, ownership, handoffs, issue escalation and decision-making.

• Identify technical, organizational and schedule risks; surface trade-offs early and provide leadership with concise status, options and recommendations.

• Analyze and report program health and revise scope, schedule or budget when needed to achieve program objectives.

• Create and maintain core program documentation, including execution plans, product-lifecycle plans, decision records, readiness criteria and status reporting.

• Lead process creation and documentation for program-related activities and drive continuous improvement.

• Establish and maintain relationships with client and engineering stakeholders, serving as a day-to-day point of contact for program status, decisions and changes.

• Translate complex engineering issues into clear business decisions and actionable commitments for technical and senior leadership forums.

Your Skills & Abilities (Required Qualifications)

• Bachelor's degree in engineering, business, computer science or a related field, or equivalent experience.

• At least two years of project or program management experience, or related experience.

• At least five years of experience in embedded controls, software architecture, systems engineering or a related technical discipline.

• Demonstrated success leading technically complex, cross-functional programs from strategy through implementation and operational adoption.

• Ability to analyze unusual and complex design challenges and make data-driven decisions in an ambiguous, fast-paced environment.

• Strong written, verbal and interpersonal communication skills, including the ability to collaborate and negotiate effectively with stakeholders, leaders, engineering staff and peers.

• Demonstrated ownership of outcomes, disciplined follow-through and commitment to safety, quality and customer needs.

What Will Give You A Competitive Edge (Preferred Qualifications)

• Master's degree in engineering, business, computer science or a related field.

• Two or more years of project or program management experience in one or more architectural domains, such as embedded controls, embedded infrastructure, virtualization, continuous integration or continuous delivery.

• Knowledge of basic software functions and embedded software development processes.

• Experience with the AUTOSAR Classic Platform, including application, communication, runtime-environment or basic-software components, or experience with similar automotive software architectures.

• Experience scaling engineering capabilities across multiple programs, architectures or product teams.

• Experience defining governance, standard work, readiness criteria, performance metrics or operating models for a new technical capability.

• Project Management Professional certification.

Behavioral Competencies

• Win with Integrity: Build trust through transparent commitments, sound judgment and honest escalation.

• Lead as One Team: Align diverse technical teams around a common outcome and collaborate across organizational boundaries.

• Own the Outcome: Take accountability for delivery, including dependencies outside the immediate team.

• Commit to Customers: Focus infrastructure improvements on the needs of engineering partners, vehicle programs and end customers.

• Move with Urgency: Convert ambiguity into an executable plan and remove roadblocks before they affect critical-path milestones.

• Innovate and Embrace Change: Challenge existing methods and scale better ways of working when evidence supports the change.

Reasons to Apply

• Lead foundational capabilities that enable GM's current and future vehicle electrical architectures.

• Work at the intersection of software, embedded controls, systems engineering, infrastructure tooling and vehicle-program execution.

• Influence enterprise-scale technical programs with visibility from engineering teams through senior leadership.

• Turn complex technical strategy into repeatable, measurable execution.

• Help engineering teams deliver higher-quality products with improved speed, transparency and predictability.

• Grow as a technical program leader while working with experts across multiple engineering disciplines.
