Apply specialized knowledge of mechanical engineering principles and practices to obtain input and negotiate with Design Verification Plan and Report (DVP&R) stakeholders to define technical requirements and deliver an optimized subsystem-based analytical and experimental verification plan to the program or project team. Verify and validate the functionality of mechanical products across a wide range of requirements, applications, and environments. Plan, track, and evaluate results from a range of analyses and functional tests to assess mechanical product risk and performance in order to drive quality decisions and proactively resolve product issues before the product reaches the customer. Make strategic decisions in the areas of verification and validation that impact product performance, reliability, and durability. Investigate and address potential mechanical system concerns or issues, understand causal mechanisms, recommend appropriate action, own problem resolution, and document r...
