Coordinate cross-functional teams (hardware, firmware/FPGA, software, test, manufacturing, suppliers) to harmonize processes and deliverables
•
Mentor and coach Lead and Senior Project Engineers—share best practices, conduct training, and foster continuous improvement
•
Improve project-engineering workflows: change-control (ECR/ECO), configuration management, earned-value reporting, and lessons-learned capture
