• Coordinate system design, sensor integration, and inter-system communication
• Specify and plan system-level testing and complete functional verification, bridging all technology domains
• Participate in the execution of test campaigns to ensure the system performs as intended
• Ensure traceability across the E2E development process and produce system level documentation
• Participate in the continued development with Product Management and other stakeholders for the T.react CIP software
