  • Integrate the bench with the client's hardware and software build targets; run closed-loop tests and lead defect triage
  • Own the acceptance specification and drive it to sign-off with client engineering
  • Direct the offshore controls, test and software engineers: work breakdown, reviews, weekly progress reporting to the client
  • Act as custodian for export-controlled technical data; ensure only cleared individuals access controlled material
