• Establish technical roadmaps, development plans, milestone reviews, and risk mitigation strategies.

• Serve as the primary technical interface to a strategic tier-one customer’s engineering teams.
• Lead customer design reviews, technical discussions, issue resolution, and executive-level updates.
• Translate customer requirements into actionable engineering objectives and deliverables.
• Build trusted relationships with customer counterparts and influence technical direction.

• Lead architecture development and system-level optimization of RF front-end module solutions.
• Drive performance tradeoffs involving current consumption, output power, efficiency, insertion loss, coexistence, harmonics, ruggedness, linearity, and module size.
• Guide development through prototype, validation, qualification, and production phases.
• Ensure successful achievement of customer specifications and system-level requirements.

• Lead multi-disciplinary teams spanning PA, module, filter, SOI switch, LNA, EM, package, product engineering, and manufacturing organizations.
• Drive technical decision-making across multiple engineering disciplines.
