• Coordinate pre-certification activities: lab selection, test plan development, sample preparation, and firmware readiness in collaboration with engineering and product teams.
• Own the certification project tracker and communicate progress, risks, and timelines to product management and executive leadership.
• Manage certification costs, budgets, and vendor relationships (third-party test labs, certification bodies).
• Oversee PTCRB, GCF, FCC/IC, and ISED submissions that feed into carrier certification eligibility.
