• Performing functional testing using NI TestStand tools and related verification activities

• Specifying and designing overall tests, including test architecture and test cases

• Preparing and conducting test sessions, producing test reports, and raising associated change requests

• Developing and validating test environments and tools

• Ensuring test traceability against requirements

• Managing V&V work products under configuration management

• Collaborating with global teams to address challenges and deliver solutions

• Ensuring adherence to software, V&V, and safety processes
