- Own the technical maturity of the product toward production, identifying critical technical risks, driving their resolution, and ensuring that the vehicle reaches a defined level of design maturity, validation, and industrial readiness
- Provide technical leadership to the engineering organization and project teams, setting technical direction, challenging proposed solutions, and ensuring that engineering decisions are based on sound system-level reasoning and evidence
- Ensure effective vehicle-level verification and validation, confirming that the integrated vehicle fulfils its requirements and that interfaces and interactions between mechanical, electrical, electronic, and software systems have been adequately verified
- Ensure that safety, cybersecurity, reliability, diagnostics, maintainability, and regulatory requirements are considered at vehicle level and appropriately reflected in the system architecture and engineering process
