• Analyze engineering workflows to identify process gaps, tool limitations, data silos, manual handoffs, and opportunities to improve productivity, quality, traceability, and engineering efficiency.
• Collaborate with hardware, software, systems, manufacturing, quality, and program teams to understand engineering challenges and define ecosystem requirements.
• Evaluate, recommend, and drive adoption of engineering tools, technologies, and workspace capabilities that enhance collaboration, integration, and lifecycle visibility.
• Champion engineering best practices, design reuse, traceability, standardization, and scalable development methodologies across the organization.
• Lead initiatives focused on tool integration, workflow automation, digital engineering, and AI-enabled engineering solutions.
• Support the development of engineering workspaces, governance models, data management strategies, and lifecycle processes that enable a connected engineering ecosystem.
• Benchmark engineering ecosystems, tools, and industry practices to identify opportunities for modernization and continuous improvement.
• Contribute to engineering technology roadmaps and future ecosystem strategies through strong lifecycle, tooling, and industry knowledge.
• Drive successful solution adoption through stakeholder engagement, training, documentation, user workshops, and engineering advocacy.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electronics Engineering, Electrical Engineering
• 10+ years of experience in engineering organizations with strong exposure to the complete hardware product development lifecycle.
• Hands‑on experience working with industry-standard engineering tools and platforms such as Altium, Altium 365 (A365), Cadence, Siemens Xpedition, Ansys, MATLAB/Simulink, Teamcenter, Windchill, Jira, Git, and related engineering collaboration solutions.
• Strong knowledge of engineering data management, configuration management, change control, traceability, design reuse, and lifecycle governance practices.
• Understanding of engineering tool integrations, workflow automation, digital thread, digital engineering, and AI-enabled engineering capabilities.
• Strong stakeholder management, communication, facilitation, and influencing skills with the ability to drive organizational change and solution adoption.
