• Apply deep experience in radiation effects on electronics to architect robust systems for space and other harsh environments.
• Define system-level trade studies, partitioning, and performance optimization for advanced mixed-signal, digital, and RF assemblies.
• Ensure designs meet all qualification, reliability, and manufacturability requirements consistent with aerospace-grade standards.
• Drive design-for-reliability and design-for-testability strategies across the product life cycle.
• Lead product definition and strategic product ideation aligned with Teledyne’s technology roadmaps.
• Conduct competitive assessments, market analysis, and pricing strategy development.
• Collaborate with executive leadership to establish business cases and go-to-market strategies.
• Serve as a technical and product ambassador — presenting and promoting solutions to key customers.
• Conduct voice-of-customer (VoC) engagements and define Statements of Work (SoWs) documents.
• Provide technical support and training to customers, sales engineers, and FAEs.
• Partner with engineering and operations to ensure manufacturability and qualification compliance.
• Mentor internal teams in advanced system design and customer communication.
