- Act as a convergence point between functional needs and technical realities (power consumption, performance, hardware limitations, firmware behavior).
Testing & Validation
- Collaborate with the quality team to define functional tests and validate results.
- Contribute to defining acceptance criteria that objectively determine the completion of a deliverable or development milestone.
Post‑Production Follow‑Up
- Provide functional support after solution deployment and propose continuous improvements based on user feedback analysis.
- Analyze field feedback on physical products (reliability, installation experience, real-world usage) to inform future iterations.
Change Management
