- Build, lead, and grow the Australian Systems Engineering, Software Test, and Quality Process Engineering teams, including hiring, developing technical leads, and setting transparent performance expectations.

- Establish a common, right-sized engineering, test, and quality baseline across Hivemind Vision and Hivemind Solutions, while respecting the different needs of each team's products and customers.

- Own the systems engineering lifecycle for Australian programs, including stakeholder needs, requirements, architecture, interface control documents (ICDs), traceability, and verification planning.

- Define and lead the software test strategy across unit, integration, simulation, software-in-the-loop (SIL), hardware-in-the-loop (HIL), and flight-test environments.

- Lead the maturation of the Australian Engineering Management System (EMS) and establish and maintain quality engineering practices, for example, configuration management, design assurance,



and nonconformance and corrective action.

- Champion and define criteria for formal technical reviews (e.g., SRR, PDR, CDR, TRR) and provide authoritative recommendations on design maturity, test readiness, risk, and release decisions.

- Drive test automation, continuous integration, and engineering metrics that make verification evidence repeatable, measurable, and efficient to produce.

- Partner with Shield AI's international engineering teams to align global processes and tooling with Australian program.

- Contribute systems engineering, test, and quality content to proposals, statements of work, and program plans.

- Report technical health, risks, and quality metrics to engineering and program leadership, and drive timely resolution of issues.
