  A typical workweek involves analyzing logged test data, planning and preparing test sessions, consulting with internal teams such as system engineers and software engineers, coordinating with customers, and providing targeted reporting. You are part of a team of 7 Radar Evaluators but primarily collaborate with project-specific teams of system, software, and test engineers in daily practice. You are guided, trained, and supported by experienced colleagues. You act as the indispensable link between the development team and the end-user, combining your in-depth system knowledge with a sharp customer-oriented mindset.
