• Define how we will measure the success and effectiveness of our products—such as improvements in test coverage, operational efficiency, and automation health—and drive the execution and continuous evaluation of those metrics to ensure ongoing impact.
• Drive the evolution of our CI/CD ecosystem, including enhancing our Jenkins and Spinnaker platforms, expanding our use of GitHub Actions, and integrating with automated testing frameworks and physical device labs.
