Create clarity across software, electrical and mechanical disciplines by defining technical ownership, interfaces, decision rights and measurable outcomes.
n
Hold the engineering team accountable for delivery, measured by working systems, product performance, reliability, development velocity and execution against customer and business commitments.
n
Personally engage in difficult technical problems when senior expertise is required to unblock the team, while maintaining clear ownership with the responsible engineer.
n
Build an engineering culture with a strong bias toward action, high personal ownership, practical problem solving and urgency without compromising safety or engineering integrity.
n




Provide senior technical leadership across software architecture, embedded systems, controls, autonomy, perception, communications, machine interfaces and electronics.
n
Establish scalable software and electronics architectures that support a growing product portfolio and avoid unnecessary bespoke development for individual programs or customers.
n
Own the integration of software, electrical, electronic and mechanical systems into complete robotic platforms, with disciplined management of requirements, interfaces, failure modes, testing and verification.
n
Lead, coach and develop a multidisciplinary engineering team spanning software,
electrical/electronics
and mechanical engineering, creating clear standards for performance, ownership and collaboration.
