As the Safety Integration Lead, you'll oversee the integration of safety requirements within the HPC design under the guidance of the Integration Team Bristol Safety Manager (ITBS). Your primary focus will be to support the HPC project's goals for design maturity, stability, and configuration management, ensuring that cross-functional and complex technical issues affecting safety requirements are effectively and promptly resolved., Here, we do right by each other and everyone's welcome.
