• Reliability & Lifecycle Testing: Own the Reliability testing program. Define Ongoing Reliability Testing (ORT) requirements for factory partners and monitor long-term durability and "wear and tear" trends.
• Quality Data Reporting & Prioritization: Own the "Single Source of Truth" for quality. Manage the ingestion of CX/RMA data, build reporting dashboards, and provide data-driven direction on where to focus engineering investigations.
• Hands-on RCA & Teardowns: Collaborate with the engineering team in physical product teardowns and Root Cause Analysis (RCA) of field failures and customer returns.
• Regulatory Support: Support regulatory-related documentation and process needs, building familiarity with applicable requirements over time.
