• Coordinate knowledge-sharing with Supply and Service teams.
• Ensure smooth lifecycle management by identifying improvements and driving continuous enhancements.

Working together with our Senior Systems Engineer, you will:

• Apply modern systems engineering methods and documentation.
• Lead system requirements analysis within Machine Functions.
• Define functional requirements and interfaces that meet customer and product needs.
• Collaborate with V&V and Machine Safety Engineers to create high-level test scenarios.
• Define sub-system integration and verification processes.

This is a hands-on, highly collaborative role with wide visibility and influence across our organization.

Qualifications
What you bring:
