- Serve as primary point of contact for validation and test coordination across CIPT, IPT, and cross-functional teams
- Support engine validation efforts for hot section components (combustor, turbine, diffuser, nozzle, exhaust)
- Track and report test progress, findings, and action items to leadership (CIPT)
- Coordinate and disseminate inspection data (e.g., borescope results) to relevant teams
- Support test readiness and execution, including hardware availability and scheduling
- Assist with hardware ordering, tracking, and logistics for engine testing programs
- Plan and coordinate inspection activities for depot engines, including teardown and detailed assessments
- Drive quick turnaround of test results (expected 1–2 day reporting cadence)
- Support Alpha reviews and future program planning (next-year proposals)
- Assist in requirements roll-up and validation planning for future engine programs
- Interface with multiple sites (East Hartford, Middletown, OKC, potential FL-based support)
