As part of the system level assurance role we provide system level performance, security and safety assurance.

• Coordination of multiple sub-system stakeholders to deliver the Design Assurance and Certification plan.
• Technical management: successfully leading the systems design and technical trade studies.

What we’re looking for from you:

• Experience in system engineering, especially in the areas of :
  • Requirements management and Use Case analysis
  • System architecture design, justification and traceability
  • Interface definition
  • Design assurance and verification planning
  • Certification
• Proficient Rational DOORS user, able to create and manage requirement modules as well as associated requirement verification modules, within formal change processes.
• Possess excellent analytical and problem solving skills and the capability to write clear, concise engineering documentation.
• Good verbal communication, listening and time management skills.
• A desire to develop and grow your systems engineering skills, and to improve the system engineering methods used within the team.
