• Evaluate and challenge proposed product capabilities to ensure safety validity, practical applicability, and industry relevance.
• Support the creation of requirements, specifications, process models, and domain documentation.

• Strong collaboration skills and ability to work as a peer partner within cross-functional teams.

Working Model

• Full-time role embedded within a product development team.

• Shared accountability for ensuring solutions align with safety principles, operational realities, customer needs, and business outcomes.
• Constructive challenge and evidence-based decision-making are encouraged as part of normal team operations.
