OR The software integration aspects involved deploying either an embedded system that drives real hardware in a control loop, or a platform system that deployed a new functionality commercially.

Understanding of (and ideally significant direct experience using) agile methodologies.

A first-principles approach to thinking through decisions like buy/build, specificity/generalization of capabilities, evaluating technology investments and so on.

Experience releasing products to manufacturing following a defined process.
