  • Experience coordinating test readiness across Engineering, and QA organizations
  • Experience defining or executing formal Test Readiness Reviews (TRRs) or equivalent
  • Familiarity with DevQA automation outputs, CI/CD pipelines, and test evidence aggregation
  • Experience working with hardware-in-the-loop or representative system test environments
  • Experience with containerized systems and deployment validation environments (e.g., Kubernetes)

Responsibilities

  • Own system-level integration assurance and test readiness prior to formal QA validation
  • Define integration test strategies and develop test plans aligned with system requirements and acceptance criteria
  • Execute or coordinate integration testing across software components and full system builds
  • Aggregate and assess integration test evidence from component teams and DevQA pipelines
  • Ensure traceability between requirements, acceptance criteria, and integration test results
  • Identify system integration defects, cross-component issues, and release risks
  • Develop and execute scenario-based test environments, including simulation-driven workflows
  • Ensure all models used in testing have clearly defined fidelity, assumptions, and limitations
  • Document model constraints and their impact on test validity and release readiness
  • Coordinate defect resolution across engineering teams
