Lead and mentor a team of System Integration & Validation engineers (4 to 6 engineers).
Own the team's technical direction, execution plans, priorities, and delivery commitments.
Build, maintain, and track detailed validation work plans aligned with product development milestones.
Drive technical reviews, problem solving, and root-cause investigations.
Develop the team's technical capabilities, methodologies, and engineering best practices.
Own the end-to-end product integration and validation lifecycle, from system requirements through product release.
Collaborate closely with System Engineering, HW/RF, FPGA, SW, Mechanical and Product Management teams throughout the development lifecycle.
Work with System Engineering to ensure system requirements are clear, testable, traceable, and adequately validated.
Translate system and product requirements into comprehensive verification and validation requirements, test plans, test cases, and acceptance criteria.
Define the architecture of product test environments and validation infrastructure.
Lead the design and implementation of automated test frameworks, test equipment, simulators, instrumentation, and data collection infrastructure.
Provide objective product maturity and validation-status assessments before design reviews and release decisions.
