• Define the quality gates a release must pass at each stage, including hardware qualification and validation at our manufacturing partners, and hold teams to the entry and exit criteria.
• Build and run the reporting that shows where every release stands, how much of the fleet is on the current version, and what is blocking progress, and present that to senior leadership on a regular cadence.
• Own escalation for release blockers, including issues raised by manufacturing partners, and drive them to closure against a defined response time.
• Turn what we learn from each release and each operational issue into a lasting change to the process, the gates, or the tooling.
• Partner with firmware, hardware, manufacturing, security, and service teams to resolve competing priorities and keep releases moving.
• Find the coordination that happens manually today and replace it with automation.
