• Support root cause analysis and troubleshooting of system, software, and integration issues.
• Collaborate with software, hardware, system integration, and other engineering teams to resolve defects.
• Analyze test failures, logs, traces, and system behavior to identify potential root causes.

Process & Collaboration

• Coordinate with cross-functional teams to plan and execute system validation activities.
• Support program changes and coordinate testing activities associated with change requests.
• Follow defined Change Request and Configuration Management processes.
• Ensure testing activities comply with ASPICE standards and organizational quality processes.
• Support continuous improvement of system testing methodologies and automation frameworks.
