- Direct prior hands-on implementation experience in FPGA, GPU or general software development
- Track record of shipping complex hardware-integrated systems on time and to quality
- Demonstrated ability to grow and retain engineering talent, including hiring, coaching, performance management, and career development
- Strong training in modern engineering delivery practices: design reviews, unit and integration testing, delivery pipelines, incident review, and continuous improvement
