• Define, document, and maintain the chosen configuration for every vehicle type (e.g., components, firmware versions, system parameters, connectivity settings, etc.)

• Own and drive the change management process and lead the board that reviews all requested changes from the chosen configuration (e.g., swapping a sensor)

• Maintain documentation of all changes with supporting artifacts in compliance with regulator and customer needs
