• 10+ years of experience in product development, systems engineering, manufacturing engineering, or technical program management within the semiconductor or electronics domain.

• Strong understanding of end-to-end product development lifecycle, including multi-domain BOMs, design handoff, configuration management, and design reuse strategies.

• Demonstrated ability to establish, optimize, or roll out enterprise-level development processes.

• Strong process orientation, with experience mapping, defining, and improving engineering workflows.

• Knowledge of Agile, Phase-Gate, or hybrid development models and how they align with PLM and lifecycle stages.

• Strong collaboration, facilitation, and communication capabilities.

• Ability to manage complex, competing requirements to drive pragmatic, business-aligned solutions.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with hardware–software co-development environments (SoCs, embedded systems, firmware, mixed-signal systems).

• Hands-on experience with PLM platforms such as Siemens Teamcenter, PTC Windchill, Dassault ENOVIA, or Arena.

• Understanding of CAD/EDA tool integration within PLM ecosystems (Cadence, Mentor/Siemens, Altium, etc.).
