  • Participating in Agile development cycles as needed, including sprint planning, stand-ups, and retrospectives
  • Collaborating with developers, systems engineers, and hardware teams to define integration approaches and resolve technical dependencies
  • Documenting configurations, integration procedures, and lessons learned to support repeatable deployments
