• Develop & execute program-specific hardware test plans to validate function while maintaining relevant DVP&R documentation:
  • Process data
  • Document test results
  • Report on status both internally as well as externally to customer
• Interface and coordinate with suppliers to deliver both prototype parts and production solutions
• Support prototype and pre-production build events
• Support production launch for responsible components/systems
