• Driving program reviews and providing QCD reports to relevant stakeholders
• Leading safety and critical issue resolution, including cybersecurity and major availability challenges

All about you

• Experience in system/product engineering or project management in industries such as digital, railway, automotive, or aircraft
• Experience in managing project/program baselines or IT system project management
• Engineering background with a full lifecycle project deployment view
• Hands‑on experience in team management (functional or hierarchical)
• Proficiency in cost and planning control within an engineering scope
• Experience in customer relationship management for deliverables and scope management
• Knowledge of safety standards and engineering product development full lifecycle
• Strong communication skills in technical environments
• Interpersonal skills, including teamwork and leadership
• Analytical and critical thinking abilities
• Problem‑solving and decision‑making capabilities
• Resilience and adaptability in dynamic environments
