•Next-Generation Product Definition: Currently leading the PRD development for Intel Panther Lake platform. Synthesized market intelligence, material supply forecasts, and regulatory certifications into the product roadmap to ensure day-one manufacturing readiness. •High-Performance System Integration: Spearheaded system-level design revisions for NVIDIA RTX A2000/2000A/A4500 integrated platforms. Collaborated with R&D to optimize thermal and power management, ensuring high performance for AI-accelerated computing and edge workstation markets. •Hardware Innovation & NVR Security Design: Defined the architecture for a specialized SSD Locker system tailored for latest NVR (Network Video Recorder) requirements. Managed the design revisions of POE and LAN expansion cards, integrating "Design-for-Supply-Chain" principles to secure material continuity and pre-compliance for global certifications.

•Flagship Project Leadership: Orchestrated the full-lifecycle NPI for the NVIDIA B200 server platform. Collaborated on PRD development and oversaw the end-to-end hardware development of Chassis and PCBA, ensuring high-complexity designs met stringent data center performance standards. •Supply Chain Resilience & Validation: Spearheaded the department-level Second Source Validation program; proactively mitigated material risks by validating alternative components, ensuring 100% CTB (Clear-to-Build) alignment and factory readiness for aggressive volume ramp schedules. •Multi-Platform NPI Management: Led the NPI transition for AMD Milan-based CSP projects, acting as the primary liaison between cross-functional engineering teams and contract manufacturers to resolve technical blockers and maintain project velocity.

•Strategic Project Execution: Managed end-to-end NPI for Annapurna Networking Cards and AMD Milan-based systems. Orchestrated hardware/software handoffs between design architects and factory manufacturing leads to ensure high-fidelity product transitions. •Operational Excellence & Process Optimization: Engineered a standardized validation framework for CSP accounts, pulling in the second-source introduction timeline by 30%. Optimized cross-functional workflows between R&D and factory NPI teams to accelerate technical validation. •Global Manufacturing & Scalability: Owned and oversaw the mass production of 10 concurrent product lines, maintaining a steady output of 2K+ units per month. Co-worked daily with North American and European factory teams to resolve quality bottlenecks and ensure stable global supply.

•Flagship Gaming Portfolio: Led NPI for Rocket Lake-based systems and managed MP for Comet Lake gaming desktops for a Global Tier-1 provider, achieving a monthly production volume of 1K units. Synchronized factory production schedules with BIOS and OS driver readiness. •Account-Level Material Resilience: Headed the Second Source Validation program for the entire Tier-1 account; proactively mitigated component risks with factory procurement teams to ensure uninterrupted production during mass production ramp-up. •Cross-Functional & Factory Alignment: Orchestrated alignment between R&D, factory and customer teams to conduct rigorous product reviews, ensuring high-fidelity launches in global retail markets.
