📋 Description

• Define and execute the 12-month roadmap for the platform’s control & safety layers, prioritizing innovations that drive autonomy & machine intelligence. • Lead the discovery phase by conducting various forms of research & engaging with stakeholders to identify needs, ensuring customer-centric requirements are established before technical development begins. • Position FORT’s safety-critical architecture as a primary market differentiator, ensuring the product vision aligns with global standards and customer trust. • Lead technical proposal efforts for high-stakes innovative projects. Identify and target new verticals that align with the platform vision, ensuring FORT remains the standard for safety governance across industries. • Orchestrate a tool-agnostic requirement architecture that drives simplicity and clarity for engineering teams while maintaining rigorous compliance with ISO 9001 and SIL standards. • Act as the strategic lead for global regulatory shifts (ex. EU Machinery Regulation, Cyber Resilience Act), ensuring the platform remains ahead of compliance curves. • Maintain expert knowledge of and ensure product compliance with key functional safety standards, including ISO 13849 and IEC 61508. • Proactively monitor the evolving security landscape, integrating security-by-design principles into all functional requirements. • Own the requirement lifecycle for safety-critical hardware-software interfaces and controls integration. • Conduct high-level trade studies and impact analysis to ensure technical alignment across all platform layers, minimizing risk and maximizing system reliability for existing and new projects. • Partner with Quality Engineering and Safety teams to oversee certification efforts (e.g., SIL 3) and ensure the control layer meets the highest "Definition of Done" standards. • Distill complex system architectures into clear, value-driven narratives for executive leadership and external partners. • Streamline the transition of features through the Product Development Life Cycle (PDLC), ensuring that compliance processes support rather than hinder development velocity. • Monitor field data and support trends to identify systemic improvements, ensuring the long-term stability and scalability of the control ecosystem. • Act as the Product Owner, managing the control backlog and ensuring all product decisions are grounded in validated metrics. • Partner with Marketing and Sales to develop technical collateral, user guidance, and launch strategies for new cloud and data products.
