You will also represent the organization in external automotive and industrial ecosystems, including customers, partners, and standards bodies.

This is a highly influential role where you will help shape engineering practices, drive delivery quality, and ensure alignment with global safety-critical standards.

It is ideal for a leader passionate about open source, scalable systems, and building high-performing engineering teams in a global, remote-first environment.

  • Represent the organization in automotive and industrial communities, including standards consortia, partners, and customers.
  • Promote modern agile development practices, engineering excellence, and continuous improvement across teams and processes.
  • Establish strong engineering culture, ensuring alignment with organizational values while enabling scalability and collaboration.

Requirements

  • Strong background in software engineering with deep expertise in Linux systems, embedded development, and open-source technologies.
  • Proven experience in automotive or industrial domains, including familiarity with standards such as ISO 26262, ISO 21434, IEC 61508, SOTIF, or ASPICE.
  • Hands-on experience with C/C++ and Python development in embedded or systems environments.
  • Demonstrated experience leading, mentoring, and managing engineering teams in a distributed or global setup.
  • Strong understanding of functional safety, cybersecurity, and compliance requirements in regulated environments.
  • Experience working in agile development environments with a track record of delivering high-quality software on time.
  • Strong communication and leadership skills, with the ability to influence technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Benefits

  • Fully remote-first work environment with global flexibility.
  • Annual learning and development budget (USD $2,000) to support professional growth.
  • Annual compensation review and performance-based recognition rewards.
  • Paid annual leave and comprehensive parental leave policies.
  • Employee Assistance Programme supporting wellbeing and work-life balance.
