- Establish CI/CD best-practice standards, define pipeline performance metrics, and ensure compliance with security and quality gates for all software streams.
- Define embedded-software strategy, including memory-mapped hardware, bare-metal, real-time operating systems (RTOS), and safety-critical design practices for the entire program.
- Oversee program-wide root-cause investigations, coordinate cross-functional response teams, and produce executive-level after-action reports.
- Collaborate with system engineers, hardware engineers, and test teams to ensure software meets interface, performance, and security requirements.
- Author program-level architecture, standards, and compliance documentation; serve as the authoritative technical reference for internal and external stakeholders.
