Head of Business Unit - Software & Electronics

Koenigsegg Megacars are defined as much by their software and electronics as by their carbon fibre, design and outright performance. Every gearshift, every driver input, every over-the-air update and every safety system runs through code and electronics built in-house, at extreme performance limits, with safety and first principles at heart. Full stack - total vertical integration. We are looking for a Head of Business Unit to lead Software & Electronics / Electrical Engineering (SWEEET), the team responsible for that entire domain: E/E architecture, low-voltage electronics, electrical harness and lighting, platform and application software, infotainment, connected services and cloud, and the functional safety that underwrites all of it.

This is not a caretaker role. You will lead an organization that is simultaneously supporting cars already in customers' hands, industrializing new model programs, and building the release and OTA infrastructure needed to do both at a growing scale - all while every line of code and every wiring decision has to survive a production Megacar environment: extreme heat and cold, extreme electrical loads, and zero tolerance for failure.

What You Will Do

• Own the strategy, budget and organizational design for SWEEET, and make the trade-off calls between technical ambition and delivery reality across every active vehicle program.
• Drive cross-functional delivery with vehicle programs, manufacturing and supply chain, so E/E and software commitments hold up against hardware and production timelines, not just internal ones.
• Mature the software release process: build on the existing multi-gate release train, push further automation of build, packaging and OTA delivery, and reduce manual, per-vehicle dependency as fleet volume grows.
• Oversee E/E architecture and systems engineering, including electrical architecture decisions for hybrid and high-current systems, low-voltage electronics, harness and lighting design, and platform and application software.
• Hold the line on functional safety and compliance across internal ECUs and vehicle systems and keep homologation moving across EU and US markets without letting it become a bottleneck.
• Build, develop and retain high-performing engineering teams across embedded, infotainment, platform and connected services disciplines, in a talent market where this exact combination of experience is scarce.
• Report progress, risk, and key technical and organizational decisions directly to executive management.

Who You Are

• You have led automotive software, electronics or systems engineering teams end to end - ideally through both program delivery and organizational scaling, not just one or the other.
• You understand E/E architecture and embedded software well enough to challenge your own engineers' decisions, not just approve them. Direct experience with vehicle software release processes, OTA / connected-vehicle systems, or functional safety (ISO 26262 or equivalent) is a strong advantage.
• You have owned a P&L or business unit budget before and are as comfortable in the commercial and analytical conversation as in the technical one.
• You have operated in a low-volume, high-complexity environment - motorsport, hypercar, aerospace or similar, or you can make a strong case for why your background transfers.
• You can hold a technical argument with your engineers and a commercial argument with executive management in the same week, and you know which conversation you are in.
• A degree in engineering, business administration or a related field, or equivalent depth gained on the job.
