  • Design, prototype, and validate products iteratively.
  • Support testing, failure analysis, and problem solving.
  • Plan project development and technical strategy.
  • Collaborate with customers and multidisciplinary teams.
  • Generate and maintain technical documentation.
  • Participate in technical meetings and business development.
  • Mentor junior profiles and improve internal capabilities.

Education & certifications
