• Review product requirements, design inputs, and risk analyses to determine appropriate verification activities.
• Create verification protocols, test plans, acceptance criteria, and reports in compliance with applicable design control requirements.
• Ensure objective evidence is generated to demonstrate compliance with design requirements.
• Design, develop, optimize, and validate test methods for mechanical, functional, usability, environmental, reliability, and performance testing.
• Identify and implement appropriate measurement systems, instrumentation, fixtures, and data acquisition methods.
• Evaluate test method capability, repeatability, and reproducibility (e.g., GR&R).
• Develop custom test equipment and fixtures as needed.
• Support test method validation (TMV) and testing execution.
• Analyze test data using statistical and engineering methods.
• Support root cause analysis and recommend corrective actions.
• Prepare clear technical reports and present findings to project teams and management.
• Collaborate with Design Engineering, Quality, Regulatory Affairs, and Lab staff.
• Coordinate testing activities with external laboratories, consultants, and suppliers.
• Mentor junior engineers and provide leadership in verification and testing practices.
• Support overall project planning from a testing strategy perspective.
• Ensure verification activities comply with applicable standards, guidance documents, and internal procedures.
