• Drive integration strategy and ensure optimal system performance and reliability.

• Technology & Technical Leadership:
• Provide direction on emerging embedded technologies, SoCs and system integration methodologies.
• Guide adoption of best practices in safety, cybersecurity and real-time system performance.
• Ensure alignment with relevant standards (e.g., ISO 26262, ISO/SAE 21434, 3GPP, ORAN specifications).

• Team Management & Collaboration:
• Build and mentor a multidisciplinary team of system engineers and architects.
• Facilitate collaboration with hardware, software, mechanical and validation teams.
• Lead cross-functional program reviews and technical milestones.

• System Validation & Optimization:
• Develop and implement system verification and validation frameworks (HIL, SIL, MIL).
• Review and troubleshoot system-level issues, lead RCA and design improvements.
• Ensure readiness for functional safety and performance benchmarks.

• Customer & Stakeholder Engagement:
• Interface with OEMs, technology partners and industry consortia.
• Support technical discussions, pre-sales proposals and requirement engineering for client programs.

• Compliance & Documentation:
• Ensure systems comply with global safety, communication and automotive standards.
• Maintain high-quality documentation including system specs, interface control documents and test protocols.
