   • Ensure timely execution and product readiness.
   • Identify risks proactively and drive resolution plans.
2. Embedded Hardware & Firmware Leadership
   • Lead embedded hardware and firmware teams.
   • Review schematics, PCB layouts, BOMs, and component selection.
   • Guide hardware debugging, bring‑up, and firmware integration activities.
   • Ensure optimised power consumption, reliability, and performance.
   • Coordinate sensor integration and communication modules such as BLE, WiFi, GSM, and LTE.
3. Regulatory & Compliance Management
   • Ensure compliance with medical device and quality standards, including ISO 13485, ISO 14971, IEC 60601, CE, FDA, and BIS.

   • Manage prototyping, pilot builds, and production transitions.
   • Coordinate with PCB manufacturers, component suppliers, assembly vendors, and EMS partners.
   • Ensure cost optimisation, quality control, and delivery timelines.
   • Drive BOM optimisation and manufacturing scalability.
5. Device Testing & Quality Assurance
   • Define testing and validation methodologies for embedded products.
   • Ensure product reliability, safety, and clinical‑grade performance.
   • Drive root cause analysis, corrective actions, and continuous improvements.
   • Oversee functional, environmental, stress, and reliability testing.
6. Supply Chain & Logistics
   • Manage procurement planning, inventory forecasting, and component availability.
   • Mitigate supply chain risks and component shortages.
   • Coordinate logistics for prototype and production devices.
7. Documentation & Intellectual Property
   • Maintain technical documentation, design history files, and device records.
   • Support patent documentation and technical publications.
   • Ensure documentation traceability and audit readiness.
8. Cross‑Functional Coordination
   • Work closely with Product, Software, AI/ML, Clinical, Manufacturing, and Management teams.
   • Ensure seamless device‑to‑cloud integration and platform compatibility.
   • Drive alignment across engineering, operations, and business functions.
