"Differences between OEM's and Tier 1's specifications and requirements. Every customer has different approach and understanding of our product. Big variation in testing procedures from one customer to another. Many conflicting customer requirements which an engineer must manage. Many subjective customer requirements which make some tests very difficult to standardize. Very elaborate design guidelines require a lot of time to go through on a regular basis considering many updates and revisions. Very challenging position for an engineer being always between the OEM and Tier 1 (JIT)."
