• Act as the primary technical reference for your modules, guiding engineers with both design and implementation direction.
• Lead design/code reviews with focus on architecture, coding standards, and performance.
• Mentor engineers in best coding practices, debugging, and design thinking.
• Work closely with system engineering, hardware, QA, UI/UX, and DevOps to ensure seamless integration of your modules.
• Maintain detailed documentation of design, implementation, and interfaces.

Good to Have skills
