• Approve validation plans and oversee the implementation of customized validation strategies for re-tests and emerging issues requiring expedited solutions.
• Lead system-level validation initiatives to facilitate earlier identification of issues, transitioning discovery from CTF to preliminary development phases.
• Verify ICDe and ICDm accuracy and maintain comprehensive, consistent, and robust interface definitions.
• Oversee interfacing and calibration verification (e.g., radio HMI for audio features, HUD dimming curve assessments).
• Confirm that vehicle properties for supplier integration are maintained at the appropriate fidelity level.
• Participate in and govern vehicle-level integration and validation processes via standardized checkpoints.
• Communicate findings from integration and validation activities to Technical Specifications (TS) teams to reinforce requirements.
• Monitor, evaluate, and report on PVCL status; review and advise DREs on test plan development.
• Assess holistic program progress at VDC for PVE and during formal program reviews.
• Lead the development of standardized methods and read-across initiatives for addressing shortages and Tier-N strategies.
• Potential custodian of GMW3431, collaborating with ENV SMEs to ensure compliance and robustness.
• Potential custodian of regulatory compliance for components on export vehicles
• Provide ECR validation approvals.
• Serve as Approver 2 for 3660 sign-off procedures.

• Lead technical sourcing evaluations and supplier preparedness reviews to guarantee alignment with GM standards.
• Deliver consolidated hardware integration and validation reports to Core PDT, supporting transparent, data-driven decision-making.
• Ensure the supplier completes component validation within the designated timeframe and participates in Design Review Based on Test Results (DRBTR) events.

Governance and Organizational Impact

• Establishes defined technical ownership and governance for hardware integration and validation.
• Eliminates fragmented execution and ensures consistency in methodologies across programs.
• Enhances early risk identification, thereby minimizing late-stage rework and failures.
