Worked with the Hardware Design Validation team in the Communication Systems sector at L3Harris. My role was to enable products to have in-depth data using rapid test software development and execution. I created/executed tests to collect data which helped design engineers make informed decisions, sooner in the design cycle, which improves factory introduction and time to market.
