- Collaborate with software engineers and data scientists to understand system architecture, model behaviour, and technical requirements to develop effective test approaches.
- Work closely with cross-functional teams to translate business and product requirements into validation plans, test cases, and acceptance criteria.
- Develop, execute, and maintain test protocols covering functional, integration, system, regression, and performance testing.
- Validate AI/ML models and software components against expected behaviour, accuracy, robustness, and operational requirements.
- Contribute to the development of internal tools, test frameworks, and automated validation processes to improve efficiency and repeatability.
- Support root cause analysis and problem resolution for defects identified during development, integration, and product introduction.
- Stay up to date with the latest trends and technologies in software quality assurance, AI/ML validation, and test automation.
- Support Senior Engineers to safeguard design qualities through rigorous verification and validation activities.
- Maintain an active role in product introduction, cost improvements, schedule adherence, and problem resolution to meet business needs.
- Ensure adherence to engineering development methodologies, including Agile and the New Product Introduction (NPI) / OTR processes.
- Maintain high standards of test quality, traceability, and documentation, ensuring requirements are properly verified and validated.
- Participate in technical reviews and contribute to the definition of validation criteria, test strategies, and release readiness assessments.
- Implement best practices for software verification, test automation, defect tracking, and validation reporting.
- Develop technical competencies by contributing to structured test and validation methodologies, standards, and best practices for AI/ML software.
- Support the creation and continuous improvement of reusable test assets, validation templates, and documentation standards.
- Foster a collaborative and inclusive team environment. Encourage continuous learning and development within the team.
- Support knowledge sharing across engineering teams on verification, validation, quality, and release readiness practices.
