Compile and analyze test data, define corrective actions or process changes, and update configurations and procedures as necessary.
Prepare and deliver detailed test activity reports, risk assessments, and system evaluation summaries to internal leadership and FAA stakeholders.
Conduct integration regression testing to verify and validate fixes or modifications affecting system performance.
Coordinate test and transition activities with cross-functional teams, FAA customers, and other contractors to ensure seamless operational deployment.
Support continuous process improvement and lessons-learned initiatives to enhance future testing and integration efficiency.
Required Qualifications:
