Create and maintain comprehensive safety documentation, including safety manuals, risk assessment reports, and technical files.
Develop and implement a safety requirements traceability matrix to link safety requirements to design, validation, and verification activities.
Manage version control and change management processes for all safety-related documentation.
Will be required to work closely with other TT Engineering personnel, Project Managers, Sourcing & Production groups worldwide.
