• Develop and communicate initial design concepts including cable assemblies, pinouts, enclosure layouts, and system interconnects using standard tools (e.g., Excel, PowerPoint, Visio)
• Provide clear, structured guidance to engineers to enable efficient execution of detailed designs and implementations
• Ensure system‑level integration across subsystems remains cohesive and aligned with overall architecture intent
• Support rapid prototyping and iterative development cycles by clarifying requirements and reducing execution ambiguity
• Collaborate with engineering managers to align technical priorities with available resources and ongoing work
• Track progress of key development activities and elevate risks or blockers to leadership as needed
• Document integration approaches, design concepts, and technical…
