Defect Management: Identify, log, and accurately trace defects and deviations, communicating findings effectively with cross-functional development, engineering, and management teams.
Protocol Adherence: Maintain strong discipline in following structured testing protocols and schedules, even during travel that may occur outside of standard business hours or with short notice.
Communication: Serve as an effective and professional communicator, both verbally and in writing, when coordinating field logistics and reporting technical findings.
