  • Document the ecosystem of systems involved in the build process, including sixteen source systems and approximately twenty five required data points per device

Customer and Cross Functional Engagement

  • Communicate quality assurance status, readiness, and outcomes to internal and customer stakeholders

  • Partner with project managers, logistics teams, and senior engineers throughout the device build and shipping lifecycle

Required Experience

  • Excellent written communication skills and customer facing professionalism

Preferred Experience
