· Product Management: Propose and approve the technical choices through rigorous internal processes. Contribute to cost reduction projects and reliability improvements by proposing root cause and solution.
· Industrialisation Oversight: Lead design transfer to manufacturing - aligning with suppliers, quality and production teams - to guarantee robust, repeatable, and scalable production. Provide an efficient Bill of Materials (BOMs) to reduce shortages and streamline production.
