- Ensure coordination of validation activities: quotation & scheduling of validation labs, development and procurement of validation test fixtures and setups, preparation for testing, execution of tests, and resolution of any resulting concerns.
- Verify compliance with customer specifications, interface with customers to clarify requirements, and develop performance specifications where none are available.
