Role Purpose
This role's mission is to create and lead a unified, cross-portfolio strategy to maximise synergy, customer value and sustainability across Edwards' semiconductor equipment ecosystem.
This role exists to align Divisional and Business Unit product roadmaps and optimise the total cost of ownership (TCoO) delivered to customers by ensuring semiconductor equipment, such as dry pumps, abatement, integrated systems, cryopumps, turbomolecular pumps, and related technologies operate as a coherent, value‑driven system. The mission is to champion a holistic, system‑level view of semiconductor solutions, improving interface compatibility, performance, energy efficiency and sustainability across the business. It is critical to enabling Edwards’ transition towards connected, digital semiconductor equipment, ensuring seamless integration with customer ecosystems, scalable digital architectures, and compliance with evolving industry standards and regulations.

- Enable seamless connectivity, data integration, and digital ecosystem alignment
- Analyse industry trends, technology inflections, and customer roadmaps to inform long‑term synergy strategy
- Translate complex technical challenges into clear, actionable and prioritised requirements for engineering and product teams, quantifying value to our customers

Stakeholder alignment and influence
- Build strong relationships across a decentralised, global organisation, influencing to drive progress
- Lead cross‑functional working groups to harmonise interfaces, standards, and integration architectures across product lines
