What a typical day looks like:

• Responsible for the translation of product- and customer system requirements to a test plan with reliable test methods and test equipment, including the interaction with the actuator specific hardware and software;
• Work with the responsible Product Engineers and Software Validation Engineers on the verification of the product design & validation of the end-product on component and actuator level; move between projects and prioritize;
• Responsible for aligning and handing over verification and validation tooling and its use (including alignment with general test equipment) to the Test Engineers; identify how to specify product, based on that define test cases to prove that the product is meeting requirements;
• Generate, in conjunction with Process Engineering, tool requirements of the actuator specific test equipment and organize the availability of required documentation like CAD models, CAD drawings and other required documentation;
