• Excellent understanding of Systems Engineering from requirements capture to customer acceptance
• Broad engineering knowledge
• Strong leadership, communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to influence and inspire co-workers; ability to generate technical documentation (for instance for regulatory compliance)
