Role Overview

We are currently seeking a Sr Manager, Software Integration to lead and develop the Software Integration Programs function within Technical Programs. This role combines functional & people leadership with direct vehicle‑program ownership for software integration on one assigned vehicle program.

The Sr Manager, Software Integration is accountable for building, leading, and continuously improving the Software Integration organization (3-4 people) while also serving as the Lead Software Integration TPM for a specific vehicle program. This hybrid model ensures strong hands‑on leadership, technical depth, and close alignment between functional standards and real program execution.

This role provides functional leadership for Software Integration Leads embedded with each vehicle program (e.g., Air, Gravity, Midsize, Nexus, and future platforms), with those leads reporting directly into this position.

Scope of Ownership

The Software Integration organization owns vehicle‑level software integration leadership, including:

* Vehicle software integration planning and execution

* Cross‑domain software integration across infotainment, controls, connectivity & cloud/mobile/garage, and ADAS software

* Software release planning and readiness at the vehicle level

* Interface between feature owners, domain programs, EE integration, validation, release management, manufacturing, and service

A core element of this ownership is vehicle‑level software risk management and software release content alignment. The SW Integration organization is responsible for:

* Defining and aligning vehicle‑level software release content for each program

* Ensuring release content meets the functional, integration, and timing needs of the vehicle program

* Ensuring the agreed release content is feasible, sequenced, and supportable by the Software organization. This is achieved through close partnership with:

* Software Programs feature owners / TPMs (feature scope, maturity, dependencies, delivery feasibility)

* Vehicle Integration (Technical Programs) (system interactions, vehicle readiness, integration sequencing)

The Software Integration function identifies cross‑domain and vehicle‑level risks, drives alignment on release content, and develops concrete mitigation plans when gaps exist between vehicle needs and software delivery reality.

Critically, this role is expected to actively verify, challenge, and refine vehicle program software requests by:

* Reviewing and validating requested feature scope, sequencing, and maturity against vehicle milestones and quality targets

* Challenging assumptions, constraints, and infeasible requests from either the vehicle program or Software organization

* Driving fact‑based trade discussions to ensure the committed software feature set for a vehicle program can be delivered on time and at the required quality level

* Converging the vehicle program and Software organization on a realistic, executable release plan, with clear ownership and mitigation actions where gaps remain

This role is also expected to work in close partnership with the Director of Software Programs (overall functional lead) to:

* Ensure software programs are appropriately resourced to meet vehicle commitments

* Align on priorities,…
