The Wide Field Instrument (WFI) aboard the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope covers 0.48 to 2.3 um wavelength. The instrument operates at cryogenic temperatures to limit the impact of thermal self-emission (TSE) and has a pupil mask located at the WFI entrance pupil to block thermal emissions from the warmer upstream telescope components. A novel mask alignment recovery test is presented that takes advantage of the fact that the exit pupil of the front-end optics is not well formed and produces sharp shadows of the pupil mask across the detector if illuminated from individual points in the telescope entrance pupil.
