Functional Lead (Air Lab)

The Aviation Innovation Research (AIR) Lab The joint CAAS-Thales innovation lab known as ‘AIR Lab’ started to operate on 1stNovember 2019 with the objective to develop Proof of Concepts (POCs) or Minimum Viable Products (MVPs) of advanced and open technologies for future Air Traffic Management (ATM). Currently, the joint lab employs a team of 30 Thales engineers and 5 CAAS engineers and air traffic controllers operating in avibrant ecosystem involving a number of Singaporean SMEs and start-ups, as well as key research institutes. Thales engineers include 5 domain experts – with more than 10 years of experience –coming from Thales ATM centers of competence in France and Australia. The se experts are coaching both the local Thales and CAAS engineers. The POCs and MVPs are co-developed with the CAAS engineers who have access to the same development tools and environment used by the Thales Engineers (provided by the Singapore branch of Thales Digital Factory). The POCs and MVPs are defined in collaboration with CAAS air traffic controllers through iterative workshops. AIRLab research outcomes will feed the next generation of products, including clearly disruptive outcomes addressing Safety and Security for Open architecture, data driven ATM Twin, Trajectory Based Operations and a Regional Collaboration Platform. AIRLab continues to benefit from research conducted in Europe through new architecture research which, among other objectives, aims at meeting much stricter safety standards for ground ATM systems in development by the European Aviation Safety Authority (EASA). This breakthrough architecture study is co-funded by the French government (CASSIOPEA). Whom We Are Looking For As a Functional Lead, you own the day-to-day delivery of a specific product functionality within an AIR Lab squad. You act as the primary point of coordination between the team and the broader engineering and product organisation, ensuring that your functionality is well-understood, well-desi…
