• Interface with certification agencies (UL, TV, Intertek).

• Own system-level validation strategies and test coverage.

5. Manufacturing, Quality & Field Reliability

• Partner with manufacturing for NPI, ramp-up, and yield improvement.

• Lead field failure analysis, root cause investigations, and corrective actions.

• Drive reliability engineering and accelerated life testing.

• Enable localization and second-source strategies with supply chain.

6. Business, Customer & Stakeholder Engagement

• Act as technical interface in customer interactions, RFQs, and pre-sales.

• Align product strategy with market needs, cost targets, and revenue goals.

• Mentor senior technical leaders and build long-term engineering capability.

• Collaborate with Product Management, Sales, Operations, and Service teams.
