·         Process Oversight:

Ensure that critical milestones—such as DFM, mold breaking, reliability testing, and certification—are factored into the prototype design phase and seamlessly executed.

·         Intellectual Property Support:

Assist technical specialists with patent-related activities, utilizing a foundational understanding of patent filing, drafting, and opposition processes.

Education qualification:
