A path from technical work to system-level ownership
The through-line is not one industry. It is the kind of problem: technically complex, ambiguous, multi-disciplinary and dependent on getting several parts to work together.
Acoustic Consultant (Technical Program Lead) · Lufthansa Technik
Owned a technical innovation program across six interdependent workstreams and 11 engineers; delivered three market-ready solutions, 20+ prototypes and a cabin-sound simulation tool.
