Skilled in interface definition, cross-discipline coordination, and design assurance. Excellent communication and collaboration skills in multi-disciplinary teams.

Desirable:

Experience with class approval processes (e.g. Lloyd's, DNV) or other compliance regimes. Proficiency with MBSE tools and practices (e.g. SysML, Cameo).
