You understand how different engineering sub-systems integrate and interface with each other, and you can analyze operations and maintenance requirements to translate them into engineering solutions. You're experienced with model-based systems engineering tools such as DOORS and Enterprise Architect, and you understand interface and requirements management approaches. You have practical knowledge of railway operations and maintenance, and you understand how ergonomics and human factors affect system design. You understand system safety and the Common Safety Method for risk evaluation. You're working towards Chartered Engineer status or can demonstrate equivalent professional experience. You can communicate systems engineering concepts clearly to technical colleagues and senior stakeholders. You're comfortable working in a rapidly changing environment where technical trade-offs need to be resolved through negotiation and analysis. Your experience could be gained from other sectors than rail, such as Automotive, Defence, Aviation or Nuclear.
