• Developing and executing design trade studies to optimize performance, weight, cost, and manufacturability.
• Coordinating with Electrical, Systems, Software, Test, and Manufacturing IPTs to align requirements and schedules.
• Owning schedule milestones, tracking progress, and reporting status to program leadership.
• Ensuring design solutions meet stringent RF performance, reliability, and environmental standards.
• Managing supplier interactions and mechanical component selections.
• Preparing and presenting technical documentation, drawings, and design reviews.
• Identifying and mitigating technical risks early in the development lifecycle.
