Nils Liliedahl

Senior Technical Lead | Component Owner | PMP® Project Manager

Background & Focus With 20 years of experience spanning the automotive, defense, and telecom sectors, I combine deep engineering expertise with strategic leadership. I am a "Hybrid Manager" who moves seamlessly between the granular technical requirements of component design and the high-level orchestration of complex vehicle platforms. My core mission is to eliminate friction in the development process and ensure that every component meets the highest standards of performance and quality.

Why I am the right fit as Component Owner:

• Technical Ownership: Expert in system integration where hardware meets software (ranging from the first gas turbine hybrid cars from 1995 to cloud-based telematics and validating AI software in an intermanship). I take full accountability for the entire lifecycle—from early concept and requirements definition to industrialization and final verification.
• Supplier & Quality Management: PMP-certified with a "zero-defect" mindset. I have extensive experience managing global suppliers (e.g., Volvo Cars, LG Chem, Denso), ensuring that technical specifications are met without compromise and that delivery remains on track.
• Agile Pragmatist: An early adopter of Agile practices in heavy industrial environments. I leverage frameworks like Scrum to drive transparency, speed, and cross-functional collaboration.
• Proven Track record of Innovation: M.Sc. in Civil Engineering from Chalmers (1995). My background includes pioneering work on Volvo’s first hybrid vehicles and holding patents in automotive safety systems.

Core Competencies:

• Technical Component Ownership & System Integration (Hardware, Telematics, Audio/Acoustic environments).
• Global Supplier & Stakeholder Management.
• Requirement Analysis and Technical Verification in complex environments (Volvo Cars, Ericsson, Saab).

Certifications & Education:

• PMP® (Project Management Professional) with an Agile focus.
• M.Sc. Civil Engineering, Chalmers University of Technology.
