2. Engineering Execution & Technical Governance
Lead multi-disciplinary engineering teams of Electrical and Mechanical, System control Engineering
Define engineering standards, design guidelines, and review mechanisms.
Own design reviews, technical risk management, and design trade-off decisions.
Ensure DFMEA, PFMEA, and functional safety concepts are embedded early.
3. Product Development & Lifecycle Ownership
Own complete product lifecycle:
Concept → Architecture → Prototype → Validation → Certification → Production → Field support
Implement V-Model / Stage-Gate / APQP product development processes.
Drive design for manufacturability (DFM), cost (DFC), and serviceability (DFS).
Lead cost-down, value engineering, and platform reuse initiatives.
4. Compliance, Standards & Certification
Ensure compliance with:
Grid Codes: IEC, IEEE, UL
Safety: IEC 62109, UL 1741, IEC 61851
EMC/EMI: IEC 61000 series
Functional Safety: IEC 61508 (where applicable)
Interface with certification agencies (UL, TÜV, 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.
