• Assess commercial and supply-chain risks—including semiconductor availability, obsolescence, capacity, single-source exposure, volume commitments, cost escalation, and supplier financial health—and develop mitigation strategies
• Evaluate processor, SoC, MCU, accelerator, memory, networking, and connectivity options and their hardware/software implications
• Benchmark competitive vehicle and E/E architectures and translate relevant industry practices into GM recommendations
• Define architecture requirements, interfaces, allocation of functions between hardware and software, and integration expectations
• Partner with suppliers and internal teams on requirements, solution reviews, prototypes, validation evidence, sourcing decisions, and architecture-level issue resolution
• Communicate architecture decisions, roadmaps, trade-offs, risks, commercial implications, and recommendations to technical teams and senior leadership
