  • Contribute to defining integration standards, playbooks, and reference architectures for reuse across markets.
  • Engage in vendor assessments, partner evaluations, and ecosystem development activities.
  • Provide architectural oversight and quality assurance throughout project delivery cycles.

  • Contribute to the continuous development of MSI frameworks, knowledge repositories, and reference models.
  • Advocate for open, interoperable, and design‑led integration approaches that enhance industry collaboration.
Qualifications Experience

  • Strong understanding of airport technology ecosystems, including operational and passenger systems, networks, data platforms, and integration middleware.
