About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Drive end-to-end solution programs from concept exploration, feasibility, and architecture definition through proof of concept, productization, system integration, validation, and launch readiness
Translate ambiguous innovation concepts into solution scope, use cases, requirements, architecture assumptions, success criteria, milestones, resource needs, and execution plans
Own integrated schedules aligning engineering deliverables with product development checkpoints, POR decisions, validation gates, manufacturing readiness, and launch commitments
Partner with product management, system architecture, hardware, firmware, software, security, validation, operations, and external suppliers to manage dependencies and secure delivery commitments
Lead architecture and technical tradeoff discussions to ensure designs are scalable, secure, manufacturable, supportable, and aligned with product roadmaps
Define and maintain functional requirements, interface assumptions, system-state definitions, delivery plans, issue logs, risk registers, decision records, validation plans, and readiness checklists
Drive issue triage, dependency closure, technical decision-making, mitigation planning, fallback options, and escalation paths
Review deliverables for alignment with solution intent, architecture requirements, milestone criteria, quality expectations, security standards, and production-readiness needs
Communicate program status, risks, tradeoffs, decision asks, recovery plans, and launch readiness to engineering leaders, product stakeholders, and executives
Enable transition of innovation solutions into scalable product programs delivered against commercial milestones and launch timelines
