- Work closely with the Test managers and the Lab Manager to understand the different test setups and the data generated.
- Understand the existing requirements and the data models.
- Take over the data loading and improvements phases
- Actively participate in the development of the python based testing framework and its interface to the data management system.

Rodolphe, intern: "I had the privilege of working on the development of future measuring tools as a full member of the system testing team. The work done allowed me to have a global view of the role that testing plays during the development and validation phases, but also to familiarize myself with project management. My responsibilities were twofold: I actively contributed to the testing activities, from the definition of test plans to the execution of tests using advanced test setups. The second part was about data management for the whole team, where I worked closely with Global IT to create a system that centralizes all test output and analysis data using interactive dashboards and provides a cloud based integrated development environment."
