Experience leading or managing phases of the NPI lifecycle, including requirements gathering, design, testing, and maintenance.
Preferred Qualifications:
Proven track record bringing volume hardware/software products to market (Linux- and Windows-based).
Experience with Windows and Linux performance testing tools (e.g., diskspd, iometer, xperf, perfmon, iostat, perf).
Strong scripting/automation skills (e.g., Python, PowerShell, Bash) for automating performance test benches.
Experience with Video Management Software (VMS), video streaming, or the security industry.
Experience working with global hardware partners (OEM/ODM).
