Act as internal advocate for design partner process integration needs
Assist in development, implementation, and continual improvement of an integrated set of project engineering processes and guidance across the spectrum of design activities (including systems, components, testing, construction, operations, and others).
Assist to refine and standardize an integrated design process model leveraging a systems engineering approach to design, in coordination with various design teams and levels of design hierarchy.
Assist in the development, maintenance, and implementation of procedures, forms, work guides, tools, and training related to design control, configuration management, and other areas of coordination with the design partners.
Support the monitoring and appraisal of design organizations, partners, contractors, and subcontractors’ performance to ensure that established standards for design execution and project processes are effectively and correctly implemented.
Identify, advocate, and resolve deficiencies in process or tool implementation, including issues in base process as well as issues in user implementation.

Requirements:

Bachelor's degree in Engineering, or related field, and Minimum 5+ years’ experience in system and integrated product design.
Experience in the application of configuration management principles through engineering processes and tools.

Experience in Requirements Management and processes is highly desired
Experience in Systems Engineering discipline and processes is highly desired.
Experience in implementing Verification and Validation Processes within projects is highly desired
Attention to detail and aspiration for technical excellence.
Experience working to quality standards on design activities, such as ASME NQA-1 or ISO 9001.
Proven ability to communicate and work across internal and external organizational boundaries to achieve design organization success, particularly on a large, complex construction project.
Experience and knowledge in project management is preferred but not required.
Ability to apply expertise on multiple complex work assignments.
Excellent technical writing, communication, and presentation skills.
Ability to communicate openly, and display respect and a desire to foster teamwork.
Candidate must be a self-starter and possess ability to coordinate and lead a design team’s effort with minimal direction.
