- Drive Agile/Scrum execution across multiple workstreams, maintaining clear visibility into status, quality metrics, risks, and deployment readiness.
- Provide hands-on technical mentorship: performance management, coaching, career development, code review culture, and continuous feedback.
- Champion an AI-augmented engineering practice — leveraging LLM-assisted development, AI-powered testing, automated code review, and data-driven optimization where appropriate.
- Own the controlled software deployment lifecycle from lab to production floor, including versioned firmware release, over-the-air updates, and rollback strategies.
- Build and evolve CI/CD pipelines promoting automation, quality gates, containerized builds, and release-driven deployment across embedded and application stacks.
- Lead adoption of strategic technologies, modern architectures, and best practices to keep the organization competitive.
- Ensure compliance with technical standards, regulatory requirements (FDA, IEC 62304, ISO, GDPR/data privacy), security, and safety protocols.
