Translates product objectives into clear, feasible, verifiable system and sub system requirements across mechanical, electrical, firmware, software, connectivity, and cloud domains. Leads requirements decomposition, interface definition, acceptance criteria, traceability, change impact analysis, PLM governance, and Verification and Validation alignment. Builds transparent Jira intake and backlog practices that give engineering teams clear priorities, dependencies, and delivery context. Facilitates architecture decisions covering performance, scalability, reliability, security, and serviceability, while documenting assumptions, constraints, risks, and rationale. Partners with Engineering, Marketing, Quality and Regulatory, and IT stakeholders to resolve ambiguity early and support auditable product development. Located in Frisco, Texas, with a practical focus on predictable R&D outcomes. EXPERIENCE Technical Product Manager, Connected Systems Aster Ridge Technologies July 2024 - Present Richardson, TX Owns technical product definition for a connected monitoring platform and its R&D pipeline. Guides requirements, interfaces, tradeoffs, risks, backlog flow, and verification alignment across Engineering, Product, Quality and Regulatory, and IT. Maintains lifecycle governance that connects customer needs with controlled delivery evidence. Translated customer use cases into system requirements across embedded hardware, firmware, software, connectivity, and cloud services. Built Jira intake workflow with acceptance criteria and dependencies, improving sequencing across a single product R&D pipeline. Established bidirectional PLM traceability linking user needs, design outputs, and verification evidence for auditable reviews. Facilitated architecture tradeoffs covering performance, scalability, reliability, security, and serviceability before implementation decisions. Aligned Verification and Validation protocols with requirement intent, closing acceptance gaps before formal verification activities began. Led change impact reviews across Engineering, Product, Quality and Regulatory, and IT before controlled requirement updates. Systems Engineer, Connected Products Blue Mesa Instruments October 2021 - June 2024 Dallas, TX Developed system architecture artifacts and requirements for connected electromechanical products spanning hardware, firmware, applications, connectivity, and cloud components. Supported design reviews, verification planning, PLM governance, risk reviews, and cross functional decisions that improved delivery readiness and controlled change. Developed system requirements and interface definitions for connected electromechanical products across five engineering domains. Converted stakeholder use cases into measurable acceptance criteria, improving design review and verification planning readiness. Maintained PLM requirements and traceability artifacts linking design outputs with test evidence and lifecycle rationale. Performed change impact analysis, identifying downstream design, test, connectivity, and documentation dependencies before approval. Reviewed Verification and Validation protocols against intended behavior, resolving requirement gaps with engineering owners. Coordinated technical risk reviews and dependency tracking, escalating unresolved constraints before planned delivery was threatened. PROJECTS Connected Product Traceability Framework 2025 Most teams do not lose time from missing ideas. They lose time from unclear links. Created a traceability framework connecting user needs, system requirements, design outputs, and verification evidence within PLM, giving reviewers clearer rationale and controlled change visibility. Engineering Intake Governance Model 2024 A backlog is a promise about what matters next. Structured a Jira intake model around objective prioritization, acceptance criteria, dependencies, and stakeholder review, helping engineering teams sequence work with fewer requirement ambiguities. LEADERSHIP & AWARDS Recognized by engineering leadership for clarifying cross domain requirements and improving review readiness. Selected to facilitate architecture tradeoff reviews spanning performance, reliability, security, and serviceability. Trusted by Quality and engineering reviewers to maintain auditable requirements and verification history.
