• Provide technical leadership and direction to JDM engineering teams for board-level architecture, design, implementation, integration, and debugging.
• Review and provide technical guidance on hardware design collateral, including schematics, component selection, PCB layout, and design documentation.
• Develop clear and comprehensive hardware architecture, design requirements, interface specifications, and engineering documentation for internal and external development teams.
• Define and execute comprehensive hardware verification and validation plans at the board, subsystem, and system levels.
• Characterize, analyze, and optimize system and product-level performance, reliability, and robustness.
• Lead root-cause analysis and resolution of complex hardware and system-level issues, coordinating internal engineering teams, suppliers, and JDM partners.
• Partner closely with firmware, software, mechanical, systems, manufacturing, quality, and operations teams to ensure successful system integration, design transfer, production ramp, and product launch.
