Job Title
Structural Design Mechanical Lead Engineer
PURPOSE OF THE JOB
The mechanical Integration Lead Engineer is accountable for Installation developement by :
* Agreeing the inputs with Train level stakeholders
* Piloting the mechanical development for "make design" or ensuring the suplier interface for "buy design"
* Contributing to 1st mounting train review and production support
MLE position is often cumulated, with SE or SSL. In this situation the accountability perimeter is more global and several design activities are delegated to ME or an aditional MLE.
