SDV & AI Solutions Product Manager (m/f/d)

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.
