Role Summary

• The System Software Engineer / PE is a hybrid engineering role responsible for system software governance, platform integration, and end-to-end quality, performance, and process excellence.

2. Product Engineering (PE)

• Define, optimize, and enforce end-to-end system software development and release processes across projects.

• Drive process standardization, documentation, and governance to improve predictability, efficiency, and quality.

• Partner with validation, SIT, and ODM teams to ensure clear ownership, entry/exit criteria, and quality gates.

• Enable scalable execution by translating complex requirements into repeatable workflows and checklists.

3. Cross-Functional & ODM Collaboration

• Act as a technical interface between Client's engineering teams and ODM partners.

• Lead technical discussions, issue triage, and joint debug sessions across time zones.
