Requirements Decomposition, Analysis & Validation

• Lead the capture and decomposition of requirements from but not limited to:
• Regulatory commitments
• Licensing basis documents
• Safety analyses
• Customer specifications
• Engineering standards
• Facilitate requirement reviews to ensure clarity, feasibility, and testability of the Design Requirements
• Coordinate validation activities to confirm that requirements accurately reflect stakeholder needs.

Requirements Traceability & Configuration Control

• Maintain end‑to‑end traceability from high‑level regulatory requirements to design outputs, test cases, and operational documentation.
• Ensure requirements are integrated with configuration management and baseline control processes.
• Support audits, inspections, and licensing submittals with complete, accurate traceability records.

Requirements Management Tools & Data Integrity

• Administer requirements management tools (e.g., DOORS, Jama, Polarion, or equivalent).
• Ensure data integrity, version control, and secure access to requirements repositories.
• Develop dashboards and metrics to monitor requirement maturity and compliance.

Baseline Development & Governance

Design Change Control & Configuration Integrity

• Lead the Project Change Control Board (CCB), ensuring all proposed changes are evaluated for technical, regulatory, cost, and schedule impacts.
• Maintain full traceability between baseline documents, design changes, regulatory submittals, and implementation plans.
• Ensure that baseline changes follow nuclear‑grade documentation, review, and approval workflows.
• Coordinate with Engineering and define Configuration Management to ensure design changes are accurately reflected in project baselines.

Schedule & Cost Integration

• Collaborate with Project Controls to ensure schedule and cost baselines are synchronized with technical scope.
• Monitor performance against baselines and identify deviations requiring corrective action.

Risk & Impact Assessment

• Evaluate the impact of proposed changes on safety, licensing, procurement, construction, testing, and commissioning.
• Work with risk management teams to ensure baseline changes are reflected in project risk registers and mitigation plans.

Configuration Management

• Oversee configuration management processes for I&C digital systems
• Ensure that all software, firmware, HDL code, toolchains, and supporting artifacts meet the stringent regulatory, quality, and traceability requirements mandated by nuclear standards.

Cross‑Functional Leadership:
