Director of Release Management

You will join Mobileye’s Release Management team as a director, leading the team responsible for the end-to-end release lifecycle of ADAS and Autonomous Vehicle software.

In this role, you will lead and develop a team of Release Managers, while owning the team’s processes, priorities, and execution standards. You will oversee complex software releases across multiple products and programs, working closely with Development, Integration, QA, Product, Program Management, and senior leadership to ensure smooth, predictable, and high-quality delivery.

What your job will look like?

• Lead and orchestrate the end-to-end release lifecycle for ADAS and Autonomous Vehicle software products, from planning through delivery and post-release follow-up.
• Own release planning, schedules, dependencies, milestones, and deliverables—ensuring releases are delivered on time, at high quality, and with controlled risk.
• Proactively identify release risks, blockers, and cross-team dependencies; drive mitigation plans and escalate when needed.
• Partner closely with Development, Integration, QA, Product, Program Management, and other stakeholders to ensure release readiness and smooth execution.
• Define, track, and communicate release-health metrics, providing clear visibility into progress, quality, risks, and areas for continuous improvement.
• Serve as the central point of contact for release-related communication, including release plans, status updates, decisions, scope changes, and go/no-go milestones.
• Establish and maintain release governance, including readiness criteria, approval processes, change-control practices, and retrospective reviews.
• Maintain accurate and comprehensive documentation for release artifacts, procedures, configurations, dependencies, and lessons learned.
• Drive improvements to build, integration, and deployment workflows by developing and maintaining automation tools and scripts.
• Promote best practices in CI/CD, software configuration management, release engineering, and DevOps across the organization.
• Stay current with relevant industry trends and technologies, and translate them into practical improvements to Mobileye’s release processes and tooling.
