Verification Manager

Redlen’s Product Performance team is dedicated to ensuring our detector modules meet the highest standards of performance, reliability, and application suitability. The team plays a critical role in connecting detector design and manufacturing to real-world imaging outcomes by driving initiatives in verification, validation & test (VV&T), device physics, reliability, image quality optimization, and data-driven performance analysis. Leveraging advanced data science techniques, robust testing protocols, and cross-functional collaboration, Product Performance ensures that every detector we deliver supports world-class photon-counting CT imaging and exceeds customer expectations.
The Verification Manager is accountable for the execution, coordination, and delivery of all verification (VER) activities across Redlen’s active programs. This role holds decision authority over verification prioritization, sequencing, resourcing, and execution outcomes, ensuring work is delivered in a coordinated, predictable, and scalable manner across cross-functional teams.
Operating within strategy defined by senior leadership, the Verification Manager translates that direction into integrated execution across programs, teams, and stakeholders. The function plays a key role in new product introduction by verifying that design specifications are met through defined test plans, performance measurement, and structured verification evidence.
The team ensures clear linkage between requirements, verification activities, and outcomes; supports factory acceptance testing (FAT) and alignment with production test; and owns cross-functional interfaces between design, test, and manufacturing to ensure clear scope, execution, and handoff. It also analyzes verification gaps and test escapes to improve coverage, execution discipline, and product performance over time.
