Own the technical roadmap for the R&D team : prioritize, sequence, and make the calls that keep the team focused
Set the engineering bar: documentation standards, design reviews, validation rigor, and the habits that separate a good team from a great one
Be the person engineers come to when a problem is hard : and know how to unblock them without solving everything yourself
Drive recruiting and onboarding as the team scales. You help define who we hire, and how we make them effective fast
Structure clean interfaces with Backend and Operations: not a nice-to-have, but part of your accountability
Own system-level architecture decisions across electronics, mechanics, and firmware, balancing performance, cost, and long-term maintainability
Anticipate EMC/CE/NDAA certification constraints from day one, not as an afterthought
Make technical constraints legible to non-hardware stakeholders , without dumbing things down
Simplify where others add complexity. If a design can be cleaner, make it cleaner
Integrate DFM/DFT constraints at design stage, not at pre-production review
Define validation plans that go beyond the lab: functional, environmental, EMC, field testing
Control BOM costs and secure critical components through double sourcing
Run go/no-go reviews before each hardware release, and make the call

You've led engineering teams : you know how to set direction, give feedback, and hold a high bar without micromanaging
You have strong hands-on experience in electronic design and embedded systems, and you've shipped products through the full cycle: prototype, industrialization, mass production, field deployment
You're comfortable across the three dimensions of hardware : electronics, mechanics, firmware, and you use that breadth to make better architectural calls, not to become the single point of failure
You have a real-world reliability obsession. Lab performance is table stakes. What matters is what happens at deployment
You can zoom in on a routing issue and zoom out to rethink an architecture — and you know when to do which
You make the engineering team around you more effective. That's how you measure yourself
