As a member of the Process Definition & Development team, you will identify any new tool or test system requirements that are generated by the process and then ensure that the changes meet the process standard. As a Subject Matter Expert (SME) your role will be to support the Delivery Teams in the event of problems, ensuring that the fixes & containments implemented are shared to the other relevant Delivery Teams located in the Plants, and taking the experiences back to PE to ensure that future designs include the fixes.
