- Guide Architecture: Provide technical and architectural design guidance, evaluate trade-offs, and ensure solutions meet security and functional requirements.
- Manage Projects: Oversee medium-scale project lifecycles, partner with leadership on prioritization, and mitigate development risks.
- Collaborate & Transition: Engage with customers for feedback and collaborate with commercial engineering teams to transition successful prototypes into products.
