We'll look to you for:

Leading the end-to-end product development process, including validation and certification

Monitoring development progress and reporting on key milestones

Collaborating with sites and métiers to secure deliverables at the train level

Liaising with the Product Platform to address technical gaps and contribute to product evolution

All about you

Knowledge of product development processes, quality standards, and risk management

Familiarity with configuration and change management practices

A certification in project management or systems engineering is a plus
