• Administer and coordinate Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) toolchains covering requirements, change management, source control, builds, artifact storage, and release records.
• Manage configuration items, version identification, baselines, tags, branches, release packages, and software delivery content.
• Ensure proper handling of change requests, impact assessments, approvals, configuration status accounting, and audit trails.
• Coordinate baseline creation and acceptance across requirements, architecture, source code, configuration, test assets, tools, and release documentation.
• Perform configuration audits and support ASPICE assessments by maintaining objective evidence and end-to-end traceability.
• Monitor configuration integrity, deviations, unauthorized changes, and baseline consistency across engineering teams.
• Coordinate build and release activities and ensure the integrity and reproducibility of software deliveries.
• Prepare and publish release notes, configuration status reports, known issues, and release documentation.
• Identify opportunities to automate status reporting and improve configuration management processes.
• Collaborate with engineering, quality, project management, and customer-facing teams to ensure compliance with project requirements.
• Promote documentation quality, process discipline, knowledge sharing, and continuous improvement.

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Electronics, Electrical Engineering, Embedded Systems, or a related discipline.
• Strong experience in Software Configuration Management for automotive or embedded software programs.
• Hands-on experience with Git or equivalent version control systems, including branching, merging, tagging, and release baselines.
• Good understanding of ALM toolchains and software development lifecycle processes.
• Experience in change request management, configuration item identification, baseline management, and release coordination.
• Knowledge of build management, artifact repositories, configuration audits, and configuration status accounting.
• Strong understanding of ASPICE configuration management and change management expectations.
• Experience maintaining traceability, audit trails, configuration records, and compliance evidence.
• Ability to define and implement practical configuration governance and process improvements.
• Strong coordination, communication, analytical, and problem-solving skills.

• Experience with CI/CD tools such as Jenkins.
• Familiarity with enterprise ALM platforms such as IBM RTC, Codebeamer, Polarion, or equivalent.
• Knowledge of Software Bill of Materials (SBOM), open-source compliance, and release compliance checks.
• Experience automating configuration status collection and reporting.
• Familiarity with automotive software quality processes and ASPICE assessments.

• Take ownership of technical and delivery outcomes, communicate risks proactively, and escalate issues in a timely manner.
• Promote reuse, disciplined reviews, and high-quality documentation.
• Collaborate effectively across engineering, quality, and project teams.
• Support and coach team members on configuration management processes and tools.
• Enable fact-based decisions using requirements, architecture, logs, metrics, and validation evidence.
