Engineering Project Manager, Agile Systems

We’re seeking a detail-oriented and proactive Agile Systems & Process Engineer to support our High Voltage Battery Engineering team. In this role, you’ll own the design, implementation, and continuous improvement of agile engineering systems such as JIRA, Confluence and 3DX, to ensure consistent workflows and standardized documentation across the organization. You’ll work cross-functionally to streamline product design processes and enable excellence in engineering delivery.

 

Role:

· Partner with engineering leaders to design and implement agile workflows in JIRA tailored to the High Voltage product design lifecycle.

· Lead configuration, optimization, and maintenance of JIRA workflows, covering requirements capture, concept development, detailed design, release management, issue tracking, and DV testing.

· Develop and enforce standardized engineering process flows for specification creation, design reviews, requirements tracking, and continuous improvement.

· Structure and maintain organized, searchable documentation in Confluence and SharePoint, ensuring accuracy and accessibility.

· Serve as the JIRA and Confluence admin: manage user access, project configurations, custom fields, automations, and reporting dashboards.

· Collaborate closely with engineering, program management, PLM, and IT to align systems with evolving project and product needs.

· Deliver training and support to engineering teams on agile tools and best practices.

· Identify, champion, and lead process and tool improvements that boost efficiency and product quality.

 

Qualifications:

· Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Business, or a related field; advanced degree a plus.

· 5+ years of experience managing agile systems and processes within engineering or product development environments.

· Strong understanding of agile methodologies (Scrum, Kanban, SAFe) and how to apply them in complex engineering projects.

· Expertise with JIRA and Confluence administration, including workflow design, custom fields, automations, and dashboard/report creation.

· Experience supporting hardware product development lifecycles, preferably in high-voltage battery or automotive engineering domains.

· Proven ability to collaborate cross-functionally with engineering, program management, IT, and PLM teams.

· Exceptional organizational skills and attention to detail with a passion for process improvement and operational excellence.

· Excellent communication and training skills, capable of simplifying complex systems for diverse audiences.

· Proactive problem solver who thrives in dynamic, fast-paced environments and can lead change initiatives.

 

Preferred:

· Prior experience in an automotive, energy storage, or hardware engineering organization.

· Familiarity with battery systems or high-voltage systems development a plus.

· Experience with scripting or automation in JIRA (e.g., JQL, automation rules).

· Exposure to regulatory and quality standards in hardware development (e.g., ISO 26262, ASPICE).

 

Education:

Bachelor's with 5 years of relevant experience; master's with 3 years of experience in a relevant engineering discipline
