• Customer consulting: Advise customers and partners on test management practices, validation in regulated and safety-critical environments, and adoption of continuous testing and AI-enabled testing.

• Defect & risk management: Establish defect processes, lead triage and prioritization, track quality metrics and risks, and recommend mitigations.

• Escalations: Act as quality advisor on critical customer situations, leading root cause analysis and corrective actions with engineering, support and delivery teams.

• Continuous improvement: Help build PTC's test service offerings and accelerators, and apply lessons learned to future engagements.
