Gate products through development lifecycle milestones from concept to design/development, validation, production introduction, and release.
Drive design verification testing, reliability testing, automated testing, regression testing, certification planning, and design-for-test requirements.
Partner with manufacturing, quality, and BUs on production-readiness reviews, first-article inspections, ramp readiness, and factory test alignment.
Build test data infrastructure that feeds back into design, predictive maintenance models, digital twins, qualification data, and complex controls systems.
Engage directly with customers and partners to understand performance, reliability, interoperability, and qualification requirements for AI data center infrastructure.
