  6. Influence whole life design considerations relating to Safety, Security, Manufacture, Test, Supportability, Through Life Support in line with company processes
  7. Support quarterly threat and mitigation reviews across the Business Area's on project status and enabling initiatives (e.g. capability, capacity, competency)
  8. Represent Leonardo within Systems Engineering bodies and groups of interest, such as INCOSE
  9. Identify trends across the Business Area's, capturing and sharing lessons learned to improve the quality and efficiency of future work
