• Support teams in meeting compliance, quality, and safety expectations

Process transformation and modern workflows

• Drive hardware development towards Git‑based, version‑controlled ways of working
• Define and implement structured artifact management with clear traceability
• Collaborate with Tier 1 suppliers to deliver artifacts in machine‑readable formats such as YAML, JSON, or structured markdown
• Design processes that enable automation and CI/CD‑style integration for hardware artifacts

Execution and continuous improvement

• Lead improvement initiatives across hardware teams and supplier interfaces
• Drive status follow‑ups and ensure progress across safety and development activities
• Support hardware teams with guidance on processes, compliance, and modern tooling
• Ensure consistency, structure, and traceability throughout the hardware lifecycle
