• Translate customer and product needs into system capabilities, requirements, interfaces and technical acceptance criteria.
• Act as the technical bridge between product management, domain SME, engineering teams, suppliers and customers.
• Create and maintain the key architecture, system requirements and interface documentation needed to guide engineering.
• Lead technical product discovery, feasibility assessments, prototypes and architecture trade-offs across performance, cost, scalability, reliability, and maintainability.
• Develop a forward-looking platform strategy to support integration of AI/analytics, expandability, and evolving grid needs.
• Design software architecture to support edge-to-cloud integration, including secure communication, scalable data pipelines, and deployment flexibility.
• Align system design with industry standards (IEC 61850, IEEE C37, DNP3, MODBUS) for secure and reliable operation in grid environments.
• Integrate sensor data, asset models, and diagnostic tools into a unified platform covering data acquisition, processing, visualization, and diagnostics.
• Establish architectural patterns for modular deployment, secure access control, update mechanisms, and multi-tenant operation for cloud systems.
• Manage technical decisions around containerization (Docker), orchestration (Kubernetes), and cloud services (AWS, Azure).
• Support field trials and customer pilots, incorporating lessons learned into the product architecture.
• Support make–buy–partner decisions and lead the technical evaluation and integration of suppliers, sensors, analytics providers and third‑party technologies.
