Responsibilities

Own the propulsion backlog, including Taurus variants, voltage/power SKUs, firmware feature flags, packaging, and accessories.
Collaborate with Electrical Engineering, FOC firmware teams, and customers to translate technical specifications (e.g., '400 V, regen, eight-week MOTS') into a sequenced work plan.
Write clear and actionable requirements for hardware and firmware development, prioritizing features that align with SWaP and schedule constraints.
Partner with the sales team on product positioning, spec sheets, and determining which customer requests become standard catalog offerings.
