- Support system integration, troubleshooting, and verification testing, including first-article builds in a production environment.
- Plan, conduct, and present electrical design reviews to demonstrate compliance with customer, program, and regulatory requirements.
- Collaborate closely with cross-functional engineering, manufacturing, quality, and program teams throughout the development lifecycle.
- Mentor and provide technical guidance to junior engineers.
- Travel occasionally to TCOM's manufacturing facility in North Carolina to support production and test activities.
