• Champion cross-functional execution and supply chain alignment to ensure on-time delivery of critical product release requirements (hardware, firmware, technical documentation, certifications). Proactively navigate and mitigate component transitions, lead times, and manufacturing/PCB design constraints.
• Oversee complex product lifecycle updates, directing the strategy for End-of-Life (EOL) transitions, component changes, and communicating Product Change Notifications (PCNs) effectively to key stakeholders and global sales teams.
