• Document test procedures, fixtures, configurations, and best practices.
• Deliver turnkey test solutions for electromechanical parts and assemblies of new robots or sustaining tests for existing robots.
• Provide project management and design support for outsourced test development.
• Analyze test results and provide feedback to improve product quality and testing processes.
• Work with quality and process engineering teams to support failure analysis of test failures to drive root cause corrective actions.
• Support station duplication, maintenance, and deployments for repair and service teams.
• Train both internal and external manufacturing in the use and support of production test equipment, test programs, and debug processes.
• Support internal factory and services teams implementing new and supporting existing test solutions.
