Manager, Electrical Design Technical Program Management

As RVT's ECU portfolio grows across vehicle platforms and brand partner programs, the pace and rigor of ECU development has never been more critical. Our Electrical Hardware Technical Program Management team is seeking a Manager to own program execution for a portfolio of electronic control units (ECUs) focused on Infotainment and Connectivity subsystems. Your strategic planning and team coordination will span hardware design, development, release, and validation across the full product development lifecycle.

In this role, you will serve as the voice of the Electrical Hardware team within the broader cross-functional organization, championing vehicle program interests while driving execution inside the Electrical Hardware team. You will own end-to-end delivery accountability for your team’s ECU portfolio: building and maintaining engineering schedules, identifying and mitigating programmatic risks, coordinating with suppliers and cross-functional partners, and ensuring that all pre-production builds are supported to enable critical path HW/SW integration timelines and vehicle builds.

Strategically, you will also partner with ECU TPM senior leadership and cross-functional engineering leadership to drive critical documentation and process improvement initiatives to enable our agile development to scale. Your role will also require relentless pursuit of ‘shift left’ opportunities to enable hardware and software teams to learn faster and shorten development cycles, allowing our brand partners to bring vehicles to market rapidly with high quality.

This role requires high levels of initiative, independent judgment, and both direct and indirect leadership capability. The right candidate brings strong program management instincts, a hands-on technical foundation, and the organizational influence to drive complex, multi-team efforts to completion.

Total compensation packages for full-time positions include base salary, eligibility for an annual performance bonus, and eligibility for equity.

In addition, our benefits package has been designed to support the health and wellness of our employees. For more information on RV Tech’s comprehensive benefits package for full-time employees, check out our Global Benefits Site .
