• 
  These
  requirements are correctly added into Jira tickets or other tracking
  methods
• 
  They
  are tracked throughout development
• 
  Cross-functional
  teams stay aligned and accountable
• 
  Issues
  or deviations are escalated early
• 
  Demos,
  validation gates, and alignment rituals actually happen
• 
  There
  are
  no surprises
  in the final vehicle experience

The role is essential in closing current execution gaps and
establishing robust, scalable workflows for how UX collaborates with EE/SW
teams.

1. Protect and Track the UX Vision

• 
  Maintain
  complete visibility over all UX requirements, decisions, and related
  engineering work.
• 
  Ensure
  the intended experience is followed by downstream engineering teams
  through continuous monitoring and follow-up.
• 
  Highlight
  any drift from UX intent early, before it becomes costly or irreversible.

2. Requirement Intake & Jira Ticket Management

• 
  Ensure
  all UX requirements provided by UX Leads are properly created as Jira
  tickets or other tracking methods
• 
  Check
  that tickets have clear owners, deadlines, and linkage to engineering
  tasks.
• 
  Maintain
  traceability from requirement → Jira item → implementation → integration →
  UX validation.

3. Continuous Tracking & Follow-Up

• 
  Conduct
  regular follow-up with EE, SW, HMI, Features, Integration, and Validation
  teams.
• 
  Track
  progress on all UX-related items — features, behaviors, animations,
  interactions, lighting, audio cues, etc.
• 
  Identify
  blockers early and drive them toward resolution.
• 
  Clearly
  surface risks and gaps to the Vehicle UX Manager and Program Office.

4. Issue Escalation & Convergence Support

• 
  Raise
  misalignments or stalled items into convergence meetings for discussion
  and decisions.
• 
  Prepare
  topics with context, data, and required input.
• 
  Ensure
  decisions made in convergence are recorded and followed by downstream
  teams.

5. Establish & Run a UX Demo Culture

• 
  Create
  a recurring demo cadence to review in-progress experiences.
• 
  Coordinate
  builds, recordings, or vehicle access for UX and stakeholders.
• 
  Capture
  issues found during demos and ensure they are tracked in Jira and
  resolved.
• 
  Support
  UX sign-off and approval gates by preparing materials and organizing
  stakeholders.

6. Drive Alignment & Collaboration Forums

• 
  Organize
  and facilitate cross-functional alignment meetings between UX, EE, SW,
  HMI, Integration, and Program Management.
• 
  Set
  agendas, document outcomes, track actions, and follow through rigorously.
• 
  Ensure
  all teams have a consistent understanding of UX intent and development
  status.

7. Support Process Improvement (Design & DevOps for
UX)

A critical part of the role is to support the Vehicle UX
Manager in improving
how UX collaborates with engineering
.

This includes:

• 
  Helping
  define better requirements management processes
• 
  Closing
  current workflow gaps (handover, tracking, communication, demo,
  validation, sign-off)
• 
  Supporting
  initiatives to improve design → development → integration flow
• 
  Driving
  adoption of more consistent Jira usage for UX tracking
• 
  Helping
  introduce new tools, ways of working, and DevOps-style practices to ensure
  long-term scalability

This person must not only track today’s work but also help
build
the future system
.

8. Reporting & Documentation

• 
  Prepare
  weekly reports on UX requirements coverage, progress, blockers, and risks.
• 
  Maintain
  decision logs, open issue lists, and experience validation trackers.
• 
  Provide
  clear and concise updates to the Vehicle UX Manager and Program
  stakeholders.

Requirements

• 
  3–7+
  years in PMO, Program/Project Management, UX Engineering, Systems
  Engineering, or similar roles.
• 
  Strong
  familiarity with automotive EE/SW development.
• 
  Experience
  with Jira and requirement/ticket management processes.
• 
  Excellent
  cross-functional coordination and communication skills.
• 
  Highly
  disciplined in tracking details and following through.
• 
  Able
  to drive accountability without direct authority.

Preferred Qualifications
