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.
