Project Manager delivering safety-critical automotive programs with Agile expertise and technical depth.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a results-driven Project Manager with 5 years of experience delivering complex, safety-critical automotive projects. I manage end-to-end project lifecycles and serve as the primary PM and client interface for European OEM stakeholders, consistently driving on-time delivery with zero compliance failures.
At Continental Automotive, I lead 11 major vehicle platform projects across BMW Group platforms (BMW, MINI, Rolls-Royce), achieving 100% on-time release and full Freigabe documentation compliance. I implemented Agile Kanban for a 7-person international team using JIRA—introducing daily standups and workflow visualization that reduced delivery bottlenecks—while also owning risk identification and mitigation for 50+ project risks across concurrent releases.
I bring technical depth alongside strong delivery execution, with experience across ISO 26262, ECU systems, and functional safety at the highest ASIL level from my prior calibration engineering work. I’m also actively seeking fully remote PM roles where my technical fluency, stakeholder management, and delivery excellence create measurable impact.
