It would be considered an advantage if you: 

• Have Experience with project management for internal and cross-functional improvement projects 

• Experience working within design control processes and knowledge of industry standards and regulations such as ISO 13485 and the MDD or MDR (if you have worked with medical devices) 

• Successfully taken a product from concept to product launch and demonstrated proficiency in requirements tools, e.g., Modern Requirements 

• Managed complexity of multiple platforms and variants through Product Line Engineering, Configuration Management, and/or Variability Modeling 

As a person, you are analytical, structured, demonstrate attention to detail, while keeping the overview of the system you are engineering.
