Vehicle Product Manager

The Company:

Faraday Future (FF) is a California-based mobility company, leveraging the latest technologies and world’s best talent to realize exciting new possibilities in mobility. We’re producing user-centric, technology-first vehicles to establish new paradigms in human-vehicle interaction. We’re not just seeking to change how our cars work – we’re seeking to change the way we drive. At FF, we’re creating something new, something connected, and something with a true global impact.

Your Role:
As a Vehicle Product Manager you’ll own the end-to-end lifecycle of FF’s vehicle programs—from market insight and product definition to launch, mid-cycle refresh, and end-of-life. You’ll translate user, market, and competitive insights into clear product strategies, model line definitions, feature/content packages, and business cases, partnering cross-functionally with engineering, design, supply chain, manufacturing, marketing, sales, and service. Basically, you’ll be the product “single-threaded owner” for the whole vehicle—ensuring what we build is exactly what customers want, what the business needs, and what the factory can deliver.

Responsibilities

• Lead full lifecycle product management for vehicle programs (concept → SOP → refresh/EOL), owning roadmap, scope, and success metrics.


• Drive product requirements analysis (market sizing, user research/VoC, clinics, competitive teardown, pricing/elasticity) and convert insights into PRD/PDL.


• Define product lineup & positioning (nameplates/trims/variants), target users, value props, and competitive differentiation.


• Specify configurations & features (performance targets, range, chassis, ADAS/AD, HMI/IVI, connectivity/OTA, comfort & safety content), with clear acceptance criteria.


• Orchestrate end-to-end development with R&D, CMF, vehicle integration, validation, homologation, manufacturing engineering, quality, and service; manage gates and deliverables (concept, design freeze, DV/PV, PPAP, SOP).


• Build the commercial case (BOM/cost targets, MSRP/packaging, volume & mix, margin/KPI) and track it through launch.


• Maintain the product backlog and change control; run trade-off decisions across cost/quality/timing/customer value.


• Author, version, and maintain product documentation (MRD/PRD/PDL, feature specs, configuration matrices, option codes, release notes).


• Partner with marketing/sales on go-to-market, demand assumptions, and lifecycle refresh plans.


• Apply an AI-driven approach—use modern AI tools for research synthesis, competitive monitoring, forecasting, and requirements authoring.


• Additional core PM responsibilities: stakeholder alignment, executive reviews, risk/issue management, and post-launch analytics.

Basic Qualifications:

• 7-10 years vehicle/automotive product management (whole-vehicle or major system) and 5+ years internet/software product management with strong hardware/automotive exposure.


• Experience across the automotive value chain: vehicle R&D/integration, manufacturing/industrialization, and commercial ops (marketing/sales/service).


• Demonstrated ownership of a complex product through multiple lifecycle stages with measurable outcomes (quality, cost, timing, customer metrics).


• AI-driven mindset: familiarity with AI trends and fundamentals; hands-on with mainstream AI tools for analysis, writing, and decision support.


• Bilingual proficiency in English & Chinese for fluent cross-border collaboration.


• Core PM skills: structured problem solving, strong product sense, crisp written docs and executive-level storytelling, quantitative analysis (Excel/SmartSheets), stakeholder management, and end-to-end execution ownership.
