As such, the Project Management Test Engineer (PMTE) will play a key role in helping us evaluate whether our products meet the high demands of our consumers from both a hardware and software perspective. The position focuses on employing existing tests while determining the gaps that require developing new tests. By standing as the voice of the consumer, it will be the PMTE's job to ensure no stone is left unturned with the product's performance, reliability, and safety. There is a high degree of interaction with the Engineering and Product Development teams in this role, which will require the PMTE to stand firm for the quality of the product while challenging cross-functional design assumptions.
