- Ensure compliance to technical specifications by overseeing subsystem development, test strategy definition, test procedure creation and execution.
- Work with quality leads, management, and QA to constantly monitor quality KPI’s and implement design improvements.
- Engage external suppliers and work with internal business clients, supply management, and regulatory teams for the delivery, support, and improvement of new and existing services.
