  • Executing and reporting verification, integration, and test activities.
  • Interfacing with other departments to align on methodologies and share results.
  • Representing Alstom in discussions with customers, partners, and auditors.
  • Specifying, procuring, and configuring test assets like testbenches and instrumentation.
  • Providing data to maintain applicable KPIs and supporting root cause analysis.
  • Managing configuration and change management cycles related to V&V activities.
  • Coordinating with T&C for tests exported to site execution.
