You work together with colleagues from different disciplines, customers and suppliers, and you know when to coach, when to make adjustments and when clear decisions need to be made. This is a role for someone who understands technology, keeps an overview and gains energy from developing together, as a team, as a professional and as an organization.

• You coach employees in their growth, conduct performance and development discussions, and help the team move to a higher level;

• You initiate process improvements and help further professionalize the hardware domain;
