Design Verification Testing (DVT) Leadership
- Own the DVT methodology and governance model, including test scope definition, readiness criteria, and exit criteria.
- Coordinate DVT execution across LoBs and regions, ensuring alignment to Vertiv standards.
- Ensure DVT results are effectively correlated with simulation data, historical performance, and field feedback.
Test Automation
- Directly lead the Core Engineering Test Automation team.
- Define and execute the test automation roadmap for product validation and regression testing.
- Drive increased adoption of automation in both engineering validation and manufacturing test environments.
- Promote reuse of automation frameworks, tools, and test assets across product families.
Manufacturing Test Collaboration
- Partner closely with Manufacturing Engineering to:
- Define Design for Test (DFT) requirements early in product development.
- Align engineering test strategies with End‑of‑Line (EOL) and factory acceptance testing.
- Ensure smooth transition from engineering validation to production test.
- Support continuous improvement of manufacturing test coverage, efficiency, and robustness.
Certification & External Relationships
- Serve as the primary Core Engineering interface to external certification agencies (e.g., UL, IEC, CE).
- Coordinate certification test strategies, scheduling, and technical alignment across LoBs.
- Ensure engineering test plans anticipate and support certification requirements.
- Maintain strong working relationships with third-party test houses and certification partners.
Governance, Metrics & Continuous Improvement
- Establish KPIs and dashboards for test effectiveness, cycle time, coverage, and automation maturity.
- Identify gaps, redundancies, and inefficiencies in current testing approaches and drive corrective actions.
