Job Description:

The candidate will have to:

• A Lead / Principal engineer, System engineering is expected to convert technologies to fully functioning, robust and reliable products. S/he is expected to act on possibly vague requirements and generate specific product ideas from the same, work with a cross functional team to execute these ideas, identify and take steps to mitigate major risks and manage new product development through all design stages till start of production. For products already launched in the market s/he shall work towards ensuring fast resolution of issues if any and make design modifications to ensure low failure rates. In all situations, s/he shall participate in hands-on development and de-risking as and when required.
• S/he shall contribute towards adhering, identifying and developing tools and processes like automated testing, verification via simulation, HIL testing etc. towards improving effectiveness.
• A person in this role shall act as a single point of contact for customers (internal and external) for technical issues pertaining to a project and shall develop good connect with all stakeholders.
