- Drive the smart/embedded ID product business and steer the portfolio for short-, mid- and long-term needs to maintain competitiveness.
- Ensure the Chip Team delivers on all strategic and operational objectives, with full responsibility for budget, resource allocation, and lifecycle-aligned planning.
