Key Responsibilities:

• Define technical requirements and develop an optimized subsystem-based analytical and experimental verification plan in collaboration with Design Verification Plan and Report (DVP&R) stakeholders.
• Make decisions related to verification and validation that impact product performance, reliability, and durability.
• Investigate and resolve potential system concerns by understanding causal mechanisms, recommending actions, and documenting results.
• Apply and improve verification and validation processes, including:
• Technical requirements analysis
• iDFMEA
• Engineering Standard Work (ESW)
• DVP&R optimization
• Test standards and problem-solving tools (e.g., Integrity)
• Develop manual test procedures (STP) based on System Requirements Specifications (SRS) and MATLAB models.
• Develop automated test procedures (ATP) using NI TestStand and LabVIEW.
• Provide regular and timely updates to the Cummins Manager, including test script reviews and test result evaluations with the Team Lead.
• Collaborate effectively within a project team to ensure successful test execution.
