We’ll look to you for:

• Providing design specifications and validation monitoring solutions until customer acceptance, while minimizing system deployment costs, lead time, and risks

• Ensuring external interfaces are consistent with your system

• Supervising and participating in system deliveries, including requirements management, architecture definition, and performance evaluation

• Organizing and leading design reviews

• Contributing to the definition and execution of the functional validation phase of the system (PC, Bench, TrainLab, Train)

• Supporting the Project Engineering Manager (PrEM) to ensure transparency in Project Engineering Work Package QCD (Quality, Cost, Delivery) performance

• Participating in risk and savings reviews within your scope
