• Autonomously create and update automated analysis scripts (primarily in MATLAB) for improved efficacy and test coverage.
• Enhance/modify system stimuli to exercise various aspects of the system.
• Integrate new software functionality, create associated automated test stimuli and analysis to maintain software baseline performance, and add instrumentation to collect software and system performance metrics on a continuous basis.
• Independently collaborate with various stakeholders and engineering disciplines to define integration and test objectives and to resolve software integration issues.
• Take ownership of tasks and guide/mentor less experienced engineers.
