Activities And Responsibilities

• You will act as the main interface between the customer (Product Line internal and external customer) and R&D and drive the translation of Customer Requirements into Product Requirements.
• You will challenge the Customer Requirements Specification (CRS) until it is understood and accepted by all parties involved and own the Product Requirements Specification (PRS) and Product Architecture Specification (PAS).
• You will technically lead a cross-functional team and derive the most suitable product architecture, guide the hardware / software system partitioning as well as potential system in package (SiP) approaches and act as peer to the product definition engineer.
• You drive and lead the clarification of technical matters during project execution for the hardware and software design teams e.g., origin of specified requirements, architecture and implementation decisions, trade-off leadership.
• You will drive and lead definition of confirmation measures for Pre-Si, Post-Si and production test.
• A significant part of your role will focus on innovation and the addition of Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence features in Sensor Systems.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: You will work alongside product, architecture, and engineering teams to ensure a seamless flow from product concept to execution, ensuring the design is robust and aligned with customer expectations.
• Mentoring: you will mentor junior engineers from different technical background, sharing your expertise in system integration, packaging, and product specification, helping them grow within the team.

Key Qualities And Skills

• Dynamic & Motivated: You bring energy and enthusiasm to the team, driving technical discussion forward with a results-oriented approach. You are proactive, take initiatives, and push for continuous improvement.
• Natural Leadership Skills: You possess strong leadership skills, demonstrated by your ability to influence and guide multi-disciplinary teams. You motivate others and foster a collaborative environment to drive successful outcomes.
• Problem-Solving Expertise: You excel in identifying root causes of complex technical issues and providing effective solutions, ensuring smooth system design and implementation.
