Lead test engineer for Stretched Onward New Product Development project. Developed project plan for testing according to DVP and prioritized specific items according to criticality to Limited Edition product launch, as well as full production launch. Provided proper testing documentation to Product Growth Team to assist in decision making and fulfill DVP requirements. Coordinated with testing team to achieve results according to the initial project plan, kept project team up to date on any testing that was falling behind, and provided mitigation plans for any scheduling issues. Contributed to failure root cause analysis on failed components, and validation of design iterations on improved components. Supported daily operation of simulators in data collection, data processing, loading, inspections, and general maintenance. Led capability project to show correlation of damage to the canopy of Precedent cars between Club Car test track, the simulations, and customer applications. Worked to develop low-cost, unattended data collection unit using an Arduino to collect from a variety of sensors, parse the data, and write to an SD at steady refresh rate in a format that can be post-processed. Mentored multiple Co-ops and interns while they were on rotation, and assisted them with final presentations. Facilitated Durability Capability project into IRPDP-NTP to track progress and present progress in cadence.
