What You’ll Be Part Of
You will own end-to-end SDV product use cases within the SDV & AI Solutions pillar of HARMAN's Software Products portfolio — the composition layer that defines what HARMAN's customers actually buy. Your role is define how capabilities from across the platform combine into coherent, high-value vehicle lifecycle use cases for specific market segments. You will be close to customers, deeply fluent in the SDV platform's capability landscape, and able to translate both into a roadmap that drives commercial outcomes.
How You’ll Make An Impact
- Own the use-case roadmap for one or more SDV market segments: define which vehicle lifecycle scenarios HARMAN should address, what capabilities are required, and how they compose into a coherent customer offering.
- Conduct continuous discovery with OEM customers and Tier 1 partners: understand their development and deployment workflows, pain points, and buying criteria.
- Work with the SDV Infrastructure and SDV Developer Experience pillars to specify capability requirements that arise from use-case needs — and validate that delivered capabilities meet the bar.
- Define success metrics for each use case: activation, adoption, customer satisfaction, and business impact.
- Support go-to-market: work with Sales, Pre-Sales, and Product Marketing to build the use-case narrative, demos, and commercial packaging.
- Contribute to the HARMAN SDV brand positioning by ensuring use-case stories are clear, differentiated, and grounded in real customer value.
