To assist in the continuing evolution of the Hardware Development Verification (HDV) team, assisting the Project Teams to develop and qualify products to standardised high levels of quality and reliability

• Work with the HDV Team Leader, other members of the Product Verification and Test group, Engineering and CATs to develop standardised product qualification systems for use by the in-house and outsource project teams.
• Consult and liaise with project Hardware Engineers in order to implement best practice in the validation & verification of product hardware during the design and development phase
• Work with HDV and project team Hardware Engineers in order to build, maintain and implement the library of HW Acceptance Test Procedures (ATP).
• Assist in developing automated test rigs for use by the hardware development teams.
• Assist in developing methodologies for systematic validation & verification of OEM/ODM products.
• Assist in specifying and selecting equipment and hardware/software tools for use in development and the HDV engineering facility and ensuring these are available and current.
• Assist in ensuring available facilities and services are communicated to the Project teams and that these services are made available in a controlled manner.
• Work with CAT & CST in-house and outsource teams to ensure that test and qualification procedures are fully embedded into the development process and reflected in engineering practice.
• Assist in providing reports when requested on future developments and progress against current developments.
• Participate in and drive initiatives to systematically improve the quality, delivery and profitability of our products.
