Work closely with product management to ensure hardware development aligns with product requirements and business goals.

Ensure that hardware development and delivery meet quality standards and comply with relevant regulations and industry standards.

Collaborate with manufacturing teams to ensure successful hardware integration, qualification, and production readiness for new products.

Advanced degree (Master's or higher) in a relevant engineering or technical field.
