Qualificações

• Experience delivering hardware or robotics projects across engineering disciplines, through integration, testing and use outside the lab.
• Technical depth to follow mechanical and electrical interfaces, software dependencies and test results, and recognize missing work.
• Practical planning judgment. You can distinguish estimates from commitments, identify dependencies and explain which decisions affect delivery.
• A record of getting work done across teams without formal authority. You follow through, clarify ownership and raise problems early.

• Keep the critical path visible across long-lead components, prototype builds, external work and unresolved decisions.
• Plan integration around available hardware and software. Track the configuration and revisions used in each build and test.
• Define acceptance criteria and test coverage with engineering and test teams, from bench checks through integrated vehicle tests and sea trials.
• Coordinate test readiness with operations, including vehicles, payloads, boats, equipment and people.
• Manage scope and schedule changes. Explain the effects on related work, present options and get decisions made in time.
• Keep concise records of risks, decisions and actions. Follow failures through fixes and retesting, and coordinate drawings, build instructions and evidence for production release.
