Within your first three months, you will understand our existing test infrastructure, tools and stakeholder needs; take ownership of test bench design and implementation activities; and independently maintain and update environments supporting AIT and software verification. You will also begin identifying and delivering improvements that make deployment, maintenance and support more consistent and efficient.
