What We Offer:

• The opportunity to lead transformative AV projects at one of the world’s most innovative airports.
• A hands-on role focused on implementing cutting-edge technology with global impact.
• Competitive compensation for the contract duration.
• A chance to set new benchmarks in the aviation industry by integrating AV solutions at scale.

Roles and Responsibilities:

Compliance and adoption of best practices:

• Work with internal stakeholders and AV providers to develop safety cases that meet local and/or international regulatory standards for autonomous vehicle operations.
• Ensure all deployments comply with aviation and transportation safety and security regulations, addressing risk assessments, validation processes, and documentation.
• Liaise with regulatory bodies to secure certifications and approvals for AV systems.
• Ensure all AV implementations follow industry best practices for safety, reliability, and operational efficiency.
• Benchmark solutions against global standards for autonomous systems, incorporating the latest advancements and lessons from other deployments.
• Promote continuous improvement by identifying and applying proven methodologies in AV testing, deployment, and management.
