Client & Stakeholder Relationships

Serve as the primary engineering point of contact for client companies, SMEs, and end users, scoping technical work and setting realistic expectations for what the site, lab, and team can deliver in a cycle

Communicate program status, technical risk, trade-offs, and resourcing needs to senior leadership, funding partners, and government clients

Produce program status reports, technical summaries, and funder reporting on a defined cadence, with accurate supporting evidence
