Analyze pre-production build data, test failures, and early field learnings to identify design or process risks before market launch
Define and implement quality metrics and acceptance criteria for validation activities, tracking performance against targets throughout the development cycle
Drive continuous improvement of pre-production quality processes - identifying systemic gaps and implementing sustainable solutions
Present validation status, quality risk summaries, and corrective action progress to senior management and cross-functional leadership regularly
