Manage product integration, qualification, and readiness for alpha, beta, and customer releases. Track progress, identify gaps, and drive corrective actions to meet program objectives. Ensure the product meets performance, quality, and reliability specifications. System Integration & Validation Plan and lead system integration activities across development teams. Verify compliance with system requirements and customer expectations. Define calibration flows and system verification approaches. Support validation, qualification, and customer acceptance activities. Lead root-cause analysis for complex technical and performance issues. Technical Risk Management Identify technical risks early and drive mitigation plans. Lead design reviews, risk reviews, and technical progress meetings. Facilitate decision-making across disciplines when priorities or technical opinions diverge. Own system-level issue resolution and escalation management. Drive continuous improvement of engineering and system-development processes. Stakeholder Management Act as the primary engineering interface to PLC, Applications, and Field support organizations. Collaborate with Product Management to define product direction and priorities. Communicate technical status, risks, and decisions to leadership and stakeholders. Support customer-facing discussions, beta-site activities, and field escalations when required. Minimum Qualifications B.Sc. or M.Sc. in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, or related discipline. 8+ years of experience in multidisciplinary R&D environments. Proven experience leading complex system development programs. Strong understanding of system engineering, architecture, integration, and qualification methodologies. Experience working with Hardware, Software, Algorithms, Applications, and Manufacturing teams. Excellent analytical, communication, and leadership skills.
