### Innovation Starts Here

### STA PrimeTime Test & Validation Sr Specialist

#### Technical Leadership & Validation Ownership

- Lead and own validation of complex PrimeTime STA features and flows, from requirement analysis through quality sign-off.

- Define and drive validation strategy, depth, and coverage for assigned functional areas.

- Act as technical lead for L1/L2 engineers, providing guidance on STA concepts, debugging approaches, testcase design, and best practices.

- Review and approve validation plans, testcases, regression results, and quality sign-off metrics.

#### Product Quality, Debug, and Cross-Team Collaboration

- Drive customer scenario reproduction, deep-dive debugging, and root-cause analysis of complex, cross-component issues.

- Proactively identify product weak areas, corner cases, and scalability/performance risks and ensure early detection.

- Work closely with R&D, Product Engineering, and Field teams to clarify requirements, influence design decisions, validate fixes, and ensure smooth integration.

- Lead functional, regression, stress, accuracy, and sign-off-oriented testing for STA features and advanced flows.

#### Automation, Data Analysis & AI-Assisted Productivity

- Architect and enhance automation frameworks using Perl, Tcl, and Python to improve productivity, robustness, and validation coverage.

- Analyze large-scale validation and regression data to identify trends, systemic gaps, and improvement opportunities.

- Effectively leverage AI-assisted engineering tools (e.g., VS Code / Cursor-based workflows with multiple LLMs) for:

- Faster testcase and automation script development

- Debug acceleration and hypothesis generation

- Log analysis, flow understanding, and code reviews

- Improving documentation quality and consistency

- Apply sound technical judgment to validate, review, and refine AI-assisted outputs, ensuring correctness, accuracy, and compliance with quality standards.

#### Communication & Continuous Improvement

- Prepare and present clear, executive-ready validation status, quality metrics, risks, and recommendations.

- Participate in feature readiness reviews, postmortems, and continuous improvement initiatives.

- Drive best practices in validation methodology, tooling, and knowledge sharing across the team.

#### The Impact You Will Have

- Own and drive quality sign-off for critical PrimeTime STA features.

- Significantly reduce customer-reported issues through proactive, risk-based validation.

- Improve tool accuracy, robustness, scalability, and real-world customer readiness.
