Your Role

• Work with stakeholders to understand and define their needs. Manage the relationship to resolve any issues that arise during the development process.

• Collaborate with multi-disciplined (process, mechanical, electrical, software) teams ensuring interfaces are defined and managed appropriately.
• Define functional and logical architectures that meet the system and stakeholder needs, using Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) tools and methodologies.
• Communicate technical information clearly and concisely, adjusting the approach for the audience.
• Champion engineering excellence, innovation, and compliance with regulatory and industry standards (eg. IEC 61508).
• Support the safety team in justifying safety cases and interacting with the regulators and independent assessors.
• Write, review and manage requirements and their links across the development lifecycle.
• Author and assess specifications to ensure they meet the applicable requirements.
• Identify appropriate verification methods for different requirements and support the definition of tests.
• Experience successfully delivering a validated, complex system to a customer.
• Support our high-performance culture by challenging the team to continuously improve our knowledge, processes and capabilities.
• Provide technical oversight of other team member's work.
