1.Demand Pool Management & Trend Analysis / 需求的管理與趨勢歸納

Participate in establishing and maintaining the Central Demand Pool (sourced from customers, market, and technology) to drive demand registration, de-duplication, consolidation, and traceability. 參與建立並維護需求庫（來源包含客戶、市場、技術），推動需求的登記、去重、合併與可追溯性。

Periodically extract product and technology trends (recurring themes, emerging operating conditions, industrial standards, and competitor movements) from the Demand Pool to provide a solid basis for roadmap products and review mechanisms. 定期從需求中歸納產品與技術趨勢（如：重複出現的主題、新興的工況需求、標準與競品動向），為產品藍圖及評審機制提供數據支持。

Identify reusable similar concepts and promote the reuse of existing products or designs to reduce redundant projects and parallel development. 識別可複用的相似概念，推動現有產品或設計的延伸複用，降低重複立項與平行開發的資源浪費。

2.Product Baseline Definition / 制定產品規格基線
Translate LTW-defined core product forms, competitive advantages, and technical evolution paths (e.g., waterproof and highly reliable interconnects, the main circular connector line, higher frequency, lower heat generation, smaller sizes, and harsher environments) into reviewable and developable technical specifications/baselines, ensuring consensus during reviews. This includes: 將 LTW 定義的主導產品型態、核心競爭力、技術演進方向（例如：防水與高可靠互連、圓形連接器主線、更高頻/更低發熱/更小尺寸/更嚴苛環境等）轉化為可評審、可開發的規格基線（Baseline），並在評審中落實為一致結論，包含：

Capability Alignment: Aligning with core strengths such as high protection levels and highly reliable interconnects to prevent disorganized product expansion. 功能領域對齊：與高防護、高可靠互連等優勢方向保持一致，避免無序擴張。

Form & Platform Alignment: Ensuring consistency with main catalog structures and extension rules for circular connectors and standard I/O. 型態與平台對齊：與圓形連接器、標準 I/O 等主力型錄結構及擴展規則保持一致。

Product Specification Alignment: Aligning with public product line dimensions (e.g., CODE, locking mechanisms, current rating, high frequency, IP rating, UL certification, materials, and weather resistance). 產品規格對齊：與公開產品線維度一致（如：CODE、鎖緊方式、載流、高頻、IP 等級、UL 認證、材料、耐候性）。

3.Product Roadmap Formulation / 產品藍圖規劃
Formulate and maintain long-term product roadmaps along with annual and quarterly release cadences. Define clear objectives and schedules for each stage (what to prioritize, what follows, and the rationale) and align them with milestones, certifications, and releases across both paths. 制定並維護中長期產品藍圖（Roadmap）與年度、季度的發布節奏；明確寫出各階段的目標與排程（先做什麼、後做什麼、原因為何），並與兩條路徑上的里程碑、認證與發布時程對齊。

Path A (Demand-Driven): Demand Pool → Custom Development → Roadmap Review → Standardization (standard product convergence rules maintained by PM/BDM/FAE). 路徑 A（需求驅動）：需求庫 → 客製化開發 → 藍圖評審 → 標準品化（標準品收斂規則，由產品經理/BDM/FAE共同維護）。

Path B (Roadmap-Driven): Market/Technology Trends → Define Roadmap Products → R&D Maturity Enhancement → Standard Products. 路徑 B（藍圖驅動）：市場/技術趨勢 → 定義藍圖產品 → 研發成熟度提升 → 標準品。

Change Management: Manage and track roadmap change logs. 管理藍圖變更記錄。

4.Product Life Cycle Management / 全生命週期管理 (To be further discussed with Marketing; temporarily used for talent sourcing / 後續需與 Marketing 進一步討論權責，先按此方向尋找人才)

Define clear rules for admission, convergence, and phase-out across custom, roadmap, and standard product stages (specifying when and under what conditions custom products can transition into standard products, and when roadmap products are deemed "mature" to enter standard product maintenance strategies). 明確產品在客製化 / 產品藍圖 / 標準品各階段的准入、收斂與退出規則（例如：在何種條件與時間點下，客製品可沉澱為標準品；藍圖產品何時視為「成熟」並轉入標準品維護策略）。

Drive the synchronization of technical documents, mating tables, application notes, and physical product statuses throughout all life cycle stages. Organize and manage engineering change notifications (ECN) and replacement relationships. 在生命週期各階段推動技術文件、互配表、應用說明與實物狀態的同步更新；主導變更通知與替代關係的管理。
