First I would talk to your manager about their expectations. They might not have a clear idea either, but you should see what they say.
As general advice — as a principal engineer, similar to a staff engineer[0], your role is really to look ahead and solve the next problem. What isn't a huge issue now, but will be in 18 months time? Where are the companies projects moving? Can you predict that they're going to need particular support in the future?

- o-__-o 6y agoThis is precisely what I’ve found in my roles above senior engineering. Senior management doesn’t want you heads down in code unless you absolutely have to be. They want forward planning. You need to manage technically, the good part is that personality management is much much less of a distraction.
