• Assist in the definition and development of product specifications relating to replacement components, marrying consumer wants / needs and creating efficiencies in how we manage these components in our internal systems.
• Develop user-relevant design targets for product performance and user experience (human factors, touchpoints, KPIs, and Consumer Satisfaction Indicators) and act as the beacon of these targets to the cross-functional team of engineers, industrial designers, and commercial marketers
