  • Develop system-level test strategies, use cases, test cases, functional checks, and validation plans for new functionality.
  • Coordinate with software and platform teams to communicate requirements, defects, dependencies, risks, and release impacts.
  • Ensure system designs account for customer consent, privacy, legal constraints, geofencing, regional requirements, and regulatory data-recording needs.
  • Support data-collection request intake by clarifying use cases, identifying available signals, defining trigger logic, assessing pipeline limitations, and determining required software or architecture changes.
  • Identify opportunities to improve requirements quality, systems engineering processes, test automation, configuration management, release readiness, and stakeholder communication.
  • Make technical recommendations based on analysis, communicate lessons learned, and keep engineering leadership informed of assignment status, timing, risks, and technical issues.
  • Mentor engineers and contribute to reusable systems-engineering standard work, documentation, and technical training.
