- Establishing baselines and design configurations, including preparing and implementing engineering changes to the baselines.
- Performing detail engineering analysis and synthesis of alternative solutions derived from unclear or vague specifications.
- Reviewing and integrating multiple activity reports into system level analysis and reports to ensure quality and integrity of results and recommendations.
- Provide ´field engineering services after delivery to aid in fault diagnostics and rectification.
- Coaching or mentoring one or more young engineers in the field of engineering and specifically systems engineering.
- Participate in work teams focussed on Project or Programme planning and strategic decision making.
- Contribute to the organisational maturity through the maintenance and upgrade of engineering processes within his/her realm of responsibility.
