  • Influence product development by supporting the design team to establish BIT functions, test interface requirements and diagnostic features.
  • Supports BIT integration activities by testing or overseeing the testing of BIT features, investigating results, and implementing corrective actions to the BIT design.
  • Participates in designing algorithms that predict the remaining useful life of the system (prognostics)
  • Plans and conducts formal BIT Demonstration activities by defining the representative fault list from the testability study, defining the fault insertion methods, performing dry-runs to test the fault insertion methods and modifying BIT software and diagnostic rules based on results of testing.
