- Edge devices (e.g., ARM Cortex, NVIDIA Jetson).

- Communication protocols (MQTT, BLE, LoRa).

- Model deployment frameworks (TensorRT, TFLite).

- Cloud services (AWS/GCP/Azure for device management and analytics).

- Ability to translate complex technical interdependencies into delivery plans and resource allocation.

Delivery & Communication Competencies :

- Strong experience with project management tools (JIRA, Confluence, MS Project, Miro).

- Excellent stakeholder engagement skills across engineering, clinical, regulatory, and executive layers.

- Exceptional documentation and reporting skills for compliance, sprint artifacts, and executive dashboards.

- Ability to foster a high-trust, high-velocity delivery culture in hybrid global teams.

Certifications & Framework Experience :

- PMP or PRINCE2 (preferred).
