Develop qualification plans and manage internal and external test laboratories as required.
  • Technical Mentorship & Quality Leadership: Provide hands-on technical leadership and guidance across the team. Advise and mentor junior engineers and enforce rigorous engineering standards to foster a culture of quality and continuous improvement.
  • Communication & Governance: Lead weekly cross-functional team meetings and deliver concise, high-level project status and milestone updates to senior management.
