Evaluate how current products operate in service to improve their reliability. Deliver definitions to appropriate stakeholder groups’ requirements (e.g. manufacturing (domestic/external), project customers, analysis team etc) in accordance with associated agreed policies via conventional and future state approaches (Model Based Definition in association with the Model Based Environment). Develop tool sets, methods, standards, best practice guidance for sub-systems and components. Capture lessons learnt. Contribute to product safety through XFMEA and risk processes. Ensure design solutions adhere to quality systems. Carry out analyses using formula-based calculations and/or automated workflows for dimensioning of parts and components (e.g. stability, stiffness, profiles, balance point, weights) and where appropriate, using analytical rules, tools and methods to underwrite the design solution against requirements. Ensure delivery of work in line with priorities, manage work through an agile management framework, and contribute to planning within a multi-disciplinary team.
