Technical Product Manager - GENIVI Alliance

The GENIVI Alliance (www.genivi.org) develops open source software, standard interfaces, architecture and specifications for the automotive, in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) ecosystem.

This role requires a first-hand experience with embedded software (preferably automotive middleware) and effective written (English) communication skills. Success in this role means that both internal and external stakeholders become aware of and are regularly updated on the technical productivity of the GENIVI Alliance.

Initially, this role will be a 50% full-time equivalent contract with a potential of moving closer to full-time in the future. Even though the GENIVI offices are in SF Bay (east) area, telecommuting from other locations in the US or Europe is possible

- Write or develop initial content drafts of technical materials like whitepapers, website content, blogs, etc. and work with GENIVI marketing to finalize content
