- Maintain engineering calculations, assumptions, review records, revision history, approval evidence, and professional-authentication records.
- Support professional engineering reviews, audits, corrective actions, and quality-management activities.
- Provide technical guidance and coaching to SC6 analysts and RF engineers.
- Support root-cause analysis for rejected reports and recurring quality issues.
- Monitor first-time-right performance, defects, rework, review compliance, and report cycle time.
