• Integrate qualitative user insights and quantitative usage data to inform product decisions and prioritize features. 
• Support development of assistive features like context-aware phrase generation, therapy tools, and personalized learning experiences. 
• Collaborate with internal systems and stakeholders (i.e., sales/marketing, manufacturing, operations)? to align device experiences with operational realities, compliance needs, and service models. 
• Analyze product performance and define KPIs that measure clinical impact, user engagement, and usability improvements. 
• Champion user empathy and accessibility best practices throughout the product development lifecycle. 
• Bridge communication between technical and non-technical stakeholders to ensure alignment and shared understanding.

• Familiarity with Android platforms, accessibility standards, and building for users with cognitive, motor, or communication challenges.
