- Develop, implement and maintain the Requirements Management Plan and support systems engineering plans throughout the project lifecycle.
- Administer IBM DOORS or an equivalent requirements management tool, supporting requirements capture, decomposition, allocation, attributes, baselines and controlled change.
- Maintain end-to-end traceability from Employer’s Requirements through design, verification, validation, testing, commissioning and final acceptance.
- Prepare and maintain requirements traceability, compliance, verification and validation matrices, ensuring each requirement has an agreed verification method, accountable party, evidence and acceptance status.
- Plan and coordinate V&V activities including reviews, analyses, inspections, demonstrations and tests; review test specifications, procedures, reports and supporting evidence.
- Support closure of V&V findings, non-compliances, failed tests, concessions and retesting, and contribute to design, test and commissioning readiness reviews.
- Provide system integration assistance by supporting integration plans, interface registers, Interface Control Documents and resolution of functional and physical interface issues.
- Assist multidisciplinary coordination across signalling, telecommunications, operational control, traction power, rolling stock, stations, depot, track, civil works, operations and maintenance.
- Support integration workshops and subsystem/system integration testing, testing and commissioning, trial operations and acceptance activities.
- Align requirements, V&V and integration activities with systems assurance, safety, RAM, cybersecurity, configuration management, approvals and certification requirements.
