- Represent Development & Validation at program reviews and forums, including PAPIR, PDT, CPIT, BRT, VPIT, and ERP; lead ADV meetings.
- Incorporate analysis where appropriate to reduce hardware dependencies and support the migration of testing to Global Virtual Engineering.
- Develop budgets and submit material requests (eSpecs, GVBR, and related requests) to ensure builds have the required content.
- Identify and lead updates to CTS, SSTS, VTS (e.g., GMW) technical specifications and requirements based on Development & Validation needs.
- Lead resolution of vehicle, plant, and customer issues.
- Provide input to portfolio studies involving anticipated or approved product-plan changes.
- Lead test-plan execution on prototype properties, assess results against requirements, and deliver reports documenting findings.
- Follow all safety policies and make safety the top priority in every activity.
- Mentor Development, Calibration, Validation, TRACK engineers, and co-ops.
