- You will work cross-functionally with R&D, new markets, and external partners to develop and characterize new product development efforts.
- You will develop analysis methods and determine appropriate metrics to assess the product.
- You will compile and analyze experimental results and communicate to the cross-functional team
- You will transfer process and test procedures and establish tracking metrics to ensure ongoing quality.
- You will develop and maintain project timelines and provide updates and feedback to project leadership.
- You will solve problems where the solutions are ambiguous and cross-functional – this will include leading or supporting debug efforts as needed.
Preferred Qualifications
- You have the ability to run self-directed projects, project teams, manage timelines, and execute projects in an R&D environment.
- You are comfortable working hands-on in a fast-paced environment.
- You are highly organized and detail-oriented with a strong analytical and broad engineering mindset.
