Lead the system optimisation, cost avoidance, best practises capturing and sharing this with relevant stakeholders.

Able to work effectively with design teams to develop and optimise solutions considering multi-attributes within defined deadlines and time constraints.

Guide the process using a product knowledge and awareness of potential design constraints to ensure due consideration is given in developing solutions.

Coordinate and lead projects and teams feedback of results as required through design / project reviews / DES

Lead optimisation of the DES model against different model derivative mixes and operational parameters.

Lead the bottleneck analysis of the system and develop strategies to remove.

Lead volume throughput increase studies and system what if’s.

Guide the process to adhere to the vehicle derivative sequencing and build to sequence rules.

Support the continual development of tools and techniques which enhance capability, improve quality and robustness of DES models.

Undertake any other work as directed by their line manager in connection with their job as may be requested.

Responsible for managing and leading a team and graduate DES engineers against a given technology / technology.

Mentor and train Junior team members and graduates.

Direct the work tasks for junior team members.
