Sibros Technologies is accelerating software-defined vehicle (SDV) excellence with its Deep Connected Platform, which orchestrates full vehicle software update management, vehicle analytics, and remote commands in one integrated system. The platform meets stringent safety, security, and compliance standards and enables OEMs to innovate connected vehicle use cases across fleet management, predictive maintenance, and data monetization.
As a Senior Technical Program Manager reporting to the Group Technical Program Manager, you will lead end-to-end delivery of Sibros software programs in the connectivity domain, including telematics, over-the-air (OTA) updates, data platforms, and connected vehicle features. You will coordinate cross-functional engineering teams, manage suppliers and customers, and drive program execution from development through production maturity, balancing technical understanding, execution discipline, and customer-facing communication.
Key responsibilities include:
- Own program delivery of connectivity software programs from planning through production release, hitting scope, timing, and quality targets
- Build and track schedules, milestones, and dependencies across software, validation, and integration teams; drive resolution of bottlenecks
- Align technical deliverables with program goals across embedded, backend, cloud, and mobile teams; track feature readiness and integration maturity
- Support design and release planning for software updates and coordinate system-level validation for customer testing and production rollout

- Serve as the single point of contact for customer program coordination, running regular status updates, milestone reviews, and risk assessments
- Communicate transparently on issues and changes to build customer trust
- Monitor program budgets, effort utilization, and change requests; support cost estimation and resource planning
- Identify risks early, define mitigation actions, and maintain risk and issue logs
- Travel to customer sites as needed (approximately 30% domestic travel) for workshops, testing, go-lives, and product support
Success in this role means on-time releases meeting quality standards, strong customer relationships, program costs within budget, minimal escalations, and smooth production readiness.
