Read schematics and PCBs to support hardware/software integration and lab validation against test benches.
Collaborate cross-functionally with Controls, Hardware, QA, and Product teams on NPD projects from concept to acceptance.
Assume responsibility for other projects assigned by the Embedded Software Engineering Manager or Company management.
Responsibility directly tied to Watts Values (Integrity, Accountability, Continuous Improvement, Transparency)
