  • Ensure all task boards are regularly updated and accurately reflect the current status, progress, and dependencies. 
  • Proactively identify and help address potential roadblocks or bottlenecks in task workflows. 
• Inter-team Coordination & Integration:  
  • Act as a central point of contact for internal communication and coordination, particularly for tasks requiring collaboration between different engineering disciplines. 
  • Facilitate regular synchronization meetings or communication channels to ensure alignment and smooth handoffs between various team components. 
  • Help clarify integration points and dependencies between different parts of the system. 
• Documentation Management:  
  • Establish and maintain comprehensive documentation for all tasks, decisions, technical specifications, and project progress. 
  • Ensure documentation is easily accessible, up-to-date, and serves as a reliable knowledge base for the team. 
  • Collaborate with engineers to capture critical information and translate technical details into clear, organized documentation. 
• Progress Tracking & Reporting:

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Project Management, or a related technical field. 
• Proven experience (3+ years) in project coordination or similar organizational role, ideally within a technical or engineering environment. 
• Understanding of engineering workflows is essential. This role does not involve hands-on technical development but requires familiarity with how technical projects progress. 
• Strong organizational skills with meticulous attention to detail. 
• Proficiency with project management and task tracking tools (e.g., Jira, Trello, Azure DevOps, or similar). 
• Excellent communication (verbal and written) and interpersonal skills, with the ability to effectively communicate with technical and non-technical stakeholders.
