- Support interface definition and management activities, ensuring interfaces are clearly specified and traceable.
- Support verification and validation (V&V) planning and activities through the development of clear, testable requirements.
- Communicate recommendations, progress, dependencies, and risks effectively to stakeholders.
- Collaborate with multidisciplinary engineering teams to ensure requirements remain aligned with system design and programme needs.
- Scope, define and plan requirements activities and documentation where required, including Requirements Management Plans and associated governance artefacts.
What You'll Bring
- Experience in requirements management and requirements engineering within a complex engineering environment.
- A strong understanding of good requirements practice, including quality, traceability, verification, and change management.
- Experience using requirements management tools such as IBM DOORS or equivalent.
- Experience scoping and defining requirements work, such as producing Requirements Management Plans or similar governance documentation.
