    • Manage a small team of engineers
    • Produce dashboards for tracking mileage collection and tracking the resolution of findings coming in from the field
    • Troubleshoot blockers or inefficiencies with mileage collection efforts
    • Collaborate cross-functionally with system safety, data science, fleet operations, and software teams to execute campaigns and act on findings
    • Perform data analysis and report test results. Maintain traceability between requirements, test cases, and results. Define and develop automated data extraction tools to streamline analysis and reporting
