In this episode of Stay Sharp in Digital Engineering, hosts Juliann Grant & Jonathan Scott sit down with Fernando Valera, Chief Technology Officer at Visure Solutions, to explore how organizations can finally bridge the gap between hardware and software teams through smarter, integrated requirements engineering.

With decades of expertise in PLM (Product Lifecycle Management), ALM (Application Lifecycle Management), and MBSE (Model-Based Systems Engineering), Fernando reveals how these frameworks can unite technical teams, accelerate product delivery, and reduce costly misalignments across disciplines.

Discover how AI, digital twins, and systems engineering are transforming modern product development, making it faster, safer, and more connected than ever before.

🔥 In This Episode:

• ✅ What PLM and ALM really mean, and how they align through requirements engineering
• ✅ How to bridge the cultural divide between hardware and software teams
• ✅ Why MBSE and systems engineering are critical for cross-domain collaboration
• ✅ The power of digital twins in synchronizing hardware and software lifecycles
• ✅ How AI is automating 80% of repetitive requirements work
• ✅ Best practices for blending ALM and PLM in real-world use

💡 Key Insights & Quotes

• ⚡ “AI can now do 80% of what a requirements engineer does, but it’s the boring 80%.”
• ⚡ “Digital twins are speeding up hardware development the same way DevOps transformed software.”
• ⚡ “MBSE isn’t just about models, it’s about giving people better ways to see and simulate complexity.”
