  • Oversee virtual and physical test programs (DVP), manage instrumentation strategies, and monitor technical issue resolution via Jira throughout the vehicle lifecycle.
  • Partner with CAE teams to ensure simulation-to-test correlation and provide technical direction to leadership during key project gateways based on data analysis.
