Support stop-work decisions when safety or risk thresholds are exceeded

Cross-Functional Coordination

Partner with Engineering to align execution with design intent

Coordinate with Flight Test for readiness and scheduling

Work with Manufacturing to support clean prototype production transitions

Continuous Improvement
