   Design and document performance test cases • Execute performance test benchmarks • Analyze and interpret performance test results • Generate reports explaining performance test results • Maintain a performance test environment • Develop and implement custom test tools and scripts used for executing tests and gathering test results • Develop test plans for validation of electrical components. This shall typically be accomplished through thorough knowledge of customer and internal component, system, and sub-system specifications. • Use general test equipment (Environmental Chambers, Thermal Shock, Vibration, Signal Generators, Audio Analyzers, etc.) to perform pre-established tests to evaluate product performance characteristics under a variety of environmental conditions. • Plan, develop, and participate in, experimentation and tests related to product development. • Generate and analyze test data and reports to determine if design meets functional and performance specifications. • Participate in development of design process procedure and plan development of experimental test programs. • Identify potential performance problems and bottlenecks • Suggest opportunities to improve throughput, latency, capacity, scalability, and reliability • Gather and analyze utilization statistics from production systems to understand runtime behavior
