• Guide external stakeholders on standardized application techniques by demonstrating approved methods, replicating customer conditions where feasible, and resolving routine issues to ensure accurate evaluations.
• Verify incoming raw materials quality by performing defined mechanical tests, comparing results to specifications, analyzing variances, and documenting conformance or nonconformance with clear evidence.
• Document work instructions for repeatable results by capturing verification steps, chronologies, approvals, and accuracy checks under guidance, and updating instructions when methods are revised.
• Create test inputs for product data sheets (under guidance) by executing mechanical tests for new or repurposed products, compiling result tables, and submitting standardized performance summaries for PDS preparation.
