Partner cross-functionally with controls, perception, UI, embedded, and platform teams to ensure consistent, high-quality verification across a multidisciplinary stack
Embed testing deeply into CI/CD pipelines, improving signal quality, execution speed, and developer feedback loops
Champion a solutions-oriented quality culture, mentoring engineers on testability, observability, and reliability best practices
Own test documentation, reporting, and traceability, ensuring clarity around system readiness, risk, and release confidence
Continuously improve test stability, infrastructure, and developer experience through tooling, automation, and operational improvements
Diagnose and debug complex system-level issues using logs, metrics, network analysis, and hardware diagnostics
