+# Questions to Define Principal Engineer Roles
+
+To identify the roles and responsibilities for Principal Engineers to support Alice and Aurora, here is a list of questions grouped by functional areas. Please review and provide answers so I can better define the positions:
+
+---
+
+## General Questions
+
+1. What are the most critical challenges currently faced by Alice and Aurora in their roles?
+
+Getting the MVP of the balloon inflator finished.
+
+2. Are there specific ongoing or planned projects that would benefit from specialized engineering support?
+
+3. What technologies, tools, or systems do you anticipate these engineers needing to master?
+
+4. Should the Principal Engineers report directly to Alice and Aurora, or is a different reporting structure preferred?
+
+---
+
+## Software Engineering (Alice's Support)
+
+1. What areas of software development need dedicated focus? Examples:
+   - Backend systems
+   - Frontend/UI development
+   - Infrastructure as Code/DevOps
+   - Security engineering
+2. Would you like Principal Engineers to specialize in certain programming languages or frameworks? If so, which ones?
+3. Should these engineers be responsible for mentoring junior team members in specific domains?
+4. How involved should they be in system architecture and design decisions?
+
+---
+
+## Hardware Engineering (Aurora's Support)
+
+1. What specific aspects of hardware development need specialized engineers? Examples:
+   - PCB design
+   - Firmware development
+   - Signal processing
+   - Hardware testing and certification
+2. Should these engineers focus on creating prototypes, or more on refining existing designs?
+3. Are there industry standards or certifications they need expertise in?
+4. What tools or platforms should they be proficient in (e.g., CAD software, simulators)?
+
+---
+
+## Collaboration and Integration
+
+1. Should Principal Engineers in hardware and software collaborate directly on projects? If so, in what capacity?
+2. Are there specific processes or communication methods you would like them to follow?
+3. What level of interaction should they have with Amber to align their work with strategic goals?
+
+---
+
+## Expected Outcomes
+
+1. What specific deliverables or outcomes do you expect from Principal Engineers within the first 6-12 months?
+2. How will their success be measured (e.g., KPIs, project milestones, feedback from Alice/Aurora)?
+
+---
+
+Please provide as much detail as possible. Once I have these answers, I can propose the specific roles, responsibilities, and potential names for the Principal Engineers needed.
