Responsibilities
Lead the review and analysis of configuration requirement allocations and gap assessments, ensuring compliance through robust traceability methods.
Manage the end-to-end delivery of subsystem configurations, including creation, verification, and control of all related documentation.
Ensure that all configuration data, documentation, and executable files are handled in accordance with internal processes, quality standards, and configuration control practices.
Continuously evaluate configuration workflows (input data handling, data preparation, parameter generation) to identify process/tool inefficiencies and implement improvement actions.
Analyse and address feedback from validation activities and onsite testing, integrating lessons into future configuration strategies.
Maintain and enhance a structured lessons-learned database, systematically documenting design issues, tool/process limitations, and corrective actions taken.
Oversee the accurate and timely delivery of configured executable files to validation and field-testing teams.
Contribute to the definition and refinement of requirements for configuration and design tools, ensuring they support effective and scalable configuration management.
