-       Planning, conducting, and validating tests using available tools (oscilloscope, multimeter, spectrum analyzer, etc.)
-       Supporting the project during certification phases (EMC, radio, electrical safety, etc.)
-       Consulting with suppliers (EMS): Cost optimization, assembly, lead times, component sourcing, etc.
-       Providing on-site support for projects (visits to EMS facilities, discussions on manufacturing, etc.)
-       Ensuring compliance with established process quality standards and applicable HSE regulations; participating in defining eco-design and industrial relocation strategies
-       Participating in and implementing product life cycle analyses to improve products’ ESG impact
