Experience working with complex electro‑mechanical, optical, electronic, or software‑enabled products.

Experience leading Engineering teams in quality-critical manufacturing environments.
Skilled in prioritising Engineering work based on business needs, operational risk, and strategic impact.
Demonstrated capability in coaching Engineers in structured problem-solving and decision-making.
