• Support engineering teams in preparing for internal and external ASPICE assessments, including evidence collection, gap analysis, and improvement planning.
• Review engineering deliverables for consistency, completeness, traceability, and alignment with engineering quality requirements.
• Support the development and maintenance of engineering templates, checklists, and standardized documentation practices.
• Work with engineering teams to incorporate quality requirements early in the design and development phase (front-loading quality).
• Development and deliver training to engineering teams on engineering process execution, engineering quality principles, and best practices for documentation and testing.
• Provide guidance to engineers on proper process usage, documentation quality, and compliance expectations.
• Serve as a subject-matter resource for interpreting ASPICE requirements and translating them into practical engineering tasks.
• Ensure software and engineering configuration management practices comply with ASPICE and internal standards.
• Verify version control discipline, branching strategies, release management processes, and traceability of changes.
• Support continuous improvement of configuration management tools, workflows, and documentation.
• Maintain, monitor, and report engineering quality metrics, including review findings, defect trends, process adherence metrics, and traceability completeness.
• Analyze quality data to identify trends, risks, or systemic issues and support root-cause investigations.
• Drive continuous improvement initiatives to elevate engineering quality, efficiency, and process maturity across the organization.
• Partner with systems engineering, software engineering, hardware engineering, validation/testing, program management, and product quality teams.
• Support alignment between engineering processes and organizational standards for quality, compliance, and functional safety.
