Technical Lead

Responsibilities and duties:

BIDs and presales:

• Be the primary technical leader for the engineering part of our offers.
• Ensure the feasibility of the solution in terms of architecture and technology maturity with respect to the contractual requirements, the consistency of the solution with product policy within target cost, schedule, and customer constraints.
• Participate in the elaboration of the Work Breakdown Structure to identify work packages and organize engineering activities.
• Approve the main BID/project engineering reviews and deliverables.
• Support Customer demo/workshop in terms of presentation and technical discussions

Project Technical Leadership:

• Prepare DVa (Design Validation), describing overall solution architecture, technology choices, customer needs and regulation constraints, standards, including identifying engineering risks and defined mitigation plans.
• Translate the customer needs into functional solution specifications and write the solution-level requirements and interface documents.
• Own the overall solution architecture and design, lead the technical choices to comply with required security, performance, environment constraints, cost, and time frame, and collaborate with architects and Work Package Managers (WPM).
• Approve the technical documentation issued by the project engineering team.
• Approve the workload estimations and help optimize timelines while keeping high quality standards.
• Lead the customer workshop, ensure a good understanding of the customer needs to articulate into a clear and concise solution description, leading to precise specifications.
• Lead the interfaces definition between integrated solution components (customer’s system, our solution), as well as internal sub-systems.

Project Team Leadership:

• Organize and lead technical meetings and peer reviews with PMs and Head of Engineering, and other stakeholders, to perform the solution technical assessment and validation of technical choices.
• Accountable for the project engineering delivery, tracking the progress of several engineering work packages with their respective managers.
• Drive the project execution process for the engineering activities.
• Collaborate to confirm the right strategy for the verification and integration of the solution.
• Coordinate the technical Work Packages to ensure consistency for the integration of the solution.
• Prepare and present to the engineering steering committees, as required, to management and/or the customer.
• Identify, consolidate, and monitor the technical risks and related action plans (engineering, quality, and security)
• Report the project status for the engineering scope to the PM and the Engineering Operation Manager

Requirements:

• Bachelor's Degree in a relevant field (or foreign equivalent) or equivalent experience.
• Over 8 years of software engineering experience with in-depth knowledge of engineering practices and processes.
• Proven engineering leadership experience with a pragmatic approach to team decision-making.
• Strong technical background, capable of collaborating with architects to design optimal solutions within project constraints.
• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, with a talent for leading teams and fostering collaboration to deliver effective solutions.
• Experience managing multiple projects, leading workshops with stakeholders to clarify requirements and project scope, coupled with proficiency in project tracking tools (Confluence, Jira).
• Strong analytical abilities and a logical, pragmatic approach to problem-solving, supporting the team to find cost-effective solutions.
• Self-starter with excellent technical writing skills, capable of influencing both technical and non-technical decisions while accurately estimating and contributing to project technical plans.
