• Portfolio and product-development leadership
• Own the project roadmap from use-case selection and requirements of definition through engineering, prototyping, field trials, validation, documentation and release.
• Lead the development of standardized solution packages for applications such as rice hullers, oil expellers, flour mills, sugarcane crushers and other agricultural or food-processing machines.
• Define system requirements covering the solar array, power electronics, motor/drive, machine load, protection, controls, energy storage where applicable, installation conditions and expected duty cycle.
• Coordinate design reviews and ensure that technical decisions, assumptions, risks and changes are documented and traceable.
• Maintain a prioritized pipeline based on customer need, technical feasibility, livelihood impact, affordability, replicability and market potential.
• Testing, validation and quality
• Establish test and validation plans with explicit acceptance criteria for safety, functionality, energy performance, reliability,



environmental conditions and application-specific output.
• Coordinate laboratory testing, OEM testing and controlled field pilots; analyse results, lead corrective actions and approve readiness for deployment.
• Create and maintain standard technical documentation, including architecture, bill of materials, sizing tools, installation instructions, commissioning checklists, operating guidance, maintenance requirements and troubleshooting procedures.
• Ensure applicable regulatory, electrical-safety, machinery-safety, quality and country-specific requirements are identified and addressed with relevant internal experts and external test partners.
• Build a structured lessons-learned process so field feedback is translated into design improvements and updated standards.
• Partner and stakeholder management
• Lead collaboration with machine OEMs, solar and electrical partners, test laboratories, installers, channel partners and field o
