Application of Innovative Systems Thinking & Disciplines: Work with customers (internal and external to Shell), the Shell Tech Works team, and end-users to define stakeholder needs. You will then be expected to generate the business case and use cases that frame the design process. The position involves thinking holistically to define the problem, solutions, and risks. You will be expected to identify and use design patterns to develop architectures that can be applied to multiple solutions. Note that Shell Tech Works team is seeking individuals who are innovation and design-oriented rather than process-oriented. The candidate is expected to have a self-motivating personality and strong work ethic.

Portfolio Development: You will support portfolio development and grow Shell Tech Works team’s project pipeline. You are expected to provide technical feedback to the Business Development staff to ensure potential projects are in line with Shell Tech Works team's core capabilities and strategically relevant to the engineering organization.
