  • Champion strategic decision-making by balancing performance, cost, mass, safety, and timing to achieve optimal balance and integration of vehicle attributes
  • Deliver performance targets, identify gaps, and drive data-based root cause analyses and resolution plans
  • Prepare and present attribute status updates for program reviews and leadership gates, ensuring risks and trade-offs are clearly communicated
  • Drive initiatives such as defining and developing test assets and methodologies to validate vehicle-level requirements
