Qualifications

• Proven track record in managing hardware development programs from concept through production.
• Solid understanding of hardware design, bring-up, validation, and manufacturing processes.
• Demonstrated experience with material planning, supply chain coordination, and supporting high-volume production ramp-up.
• Strong organizational, analytical, and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to manage multiple complex projects simultaneously in a fast-paced environment.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
• Strong interpersonal skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively across engineering teams and influence executive leadership.
