Project Quality Manager for System & Software (m/f/x)

Join us in shaping the future of mobility – and your own.

SEG Automotive combines the strength of a global player with the short decision-making processes and culture of a medium-sized company. We offer you a fulfilling, challenging, and future-proof job: With us, you can make a contribution to society – while also having a wide range of opportunities for personal and international growth.

Become part of our intercultural team of over 6,000 employees in 14 countries. That’s how you’ll make a difference – in the automotive industry and in your own career.

What are your responsibilities

Plan, coordinate, and drive quality assurance activities for system and software development projects – independently and with a hands-on mindset.

Make sure our development processes are lived in practice and assess the quality and maturity of work products against agreed process, quality, and project criteria.

Identify and evaluate quality risks and process deviations, follow corrective and improvement actions through to completion, and escalate critical issues when needed.

Define project-specific quality objectives and measures together with project management and engineering – and keep them on track.

Prepare and lead cross-functional quality and maturity reviews at key milestones, quality gates, and releases.

Support and coach project teams in applying our development processes, methods, and quality standards effectively.

Steer the project towards its ASPICE targets: monitor process implementation, close gaps, coordinate improvements, and get the team ready for internal and external assessments and audits.

Be the independent voice of quality in the project – providing an objective view of quality and maturity and raising critical concerns when necessary.

Represent system and software development quality towards our customers.

Help shape the continuous improvement of our development and quality processes, drawing on project experience, assessment findings, and lessons learned.

What you need to join us

A university degree in engineering, electrical / electronic engineering, software engineering, or a comparable technical field
Several years of experience in project quality management, system / software development, process assurance, or a similar role – ideally in the automotive industry
A solid understanding of the system and software development lifecycle – from requirements engineering, architecture, and integration to verification, validation, and traceability, as well as configuration, change, and problem management
Hands-on experience with ASPICE in development projects and assessments
Ideally, you hold an ASPICE assessor qualification
Knowledge of how development quality interacts with functional safety (ISO 26262) and cybersecurity (ISO/SAE 21434)
Experience with ALM, requirements, configuration, and issue / defect tracking tools
A sharp analytical mind that spots quality risks, process gaps, and opportunities for improvement
Confident communication skills: you challenge constructively, moderate cross-functional discussions and influence without direct authority
A strong customer focus paired with an independent, structured, and reliable way of working – you stay objective and level-headed, even when projects get challenging
Excellent written and spoken English and German

What we’ll be offering you in the future

Innovation, creative freedom, and responsibility can be lived with us.
