o Proof of Concept: Dream, plan, develop data-driven proposals. Architect the development and integration of features to address customer
needs. Realize concepts through quick simulations or demonstrations.
o Evaluation: Evaluate features in simulated, closed-track, and public-road environments.
o Project Leader and Team Member: Work dynamically both as Project Lead, and Team Member. Negotiate project goals, plan task timelines,
execute. Monitor status and engage regularly with stakeholders and Management for alignment.
o Customer Centric Approach: Identify customer needs through data driven assessment of technology, infrastructure, driving environment,
market, and social trends.
o Storytelling: Summarize data logically to create easy-to-understand visualized reports for technical storytelling. Communicate proactively with
stakeholders and Management toward building consensus.
o Continuous Improvement: Challenge the status quo and push to develop breakthrough solution. Propose solutions to overcome deficiencies.
