- Serve as the primary “Readiness” owner for critical milestones (e.g., Critical Design Review, System Verification Review, Flight Readiness Review) related to Test.
- Conduct readiness assessments, risk analyses, and mitigation planning.
- Present status and technical justification to program leadership and customers.
Customer Interaction & Communication
- Act as the senior technical point of contact for customers regarding integration, test results, and system performance.
- Prepare and deliver briefings, technical reports, and post‑test reviews.
- Incorporate customer feedback into test strategy and product improvement plans.
Cross‑Functional Collaboration
- Partner with Systems Engineering, Software Development, Electrical/Mechanical Engineering, Quality, and Program Management to align requirements, designs, and test activities.
- Facilitate data‑product maturity through rigorous verification, validation, and documentation.
Travel & On‑Site Support
- Travel to multiple U.S. test sites (e.g., Florida, Georgia, D.C.) to support hardware setup, test execution, and troubleshooting.
- Provide on‑site technical leadership during flight‑termination and telemetry test campaigns.
