Support system architecture development, technical trade studies, and engineering analyses to evaluate design alternatives and optimize system performance.
Develop system verification and validation strategies, including verification methods (test, analysis, demonstration, and inspection), acceptance criteria, and verification levels aligned with program requirements.
Define verification configurations, including hardware, software, firmware, and test environments required to support verification activities.
Develop and maintain verification documentation, verification cross-reference matrices (VCRM), requirements traceability matrices, and verification evidence packages.
Partner with Integration & Test teams to plan, coordinate, and support system integration and verification activities.
Evaluate test results, resolve technical discrepancies, and support corrective actions to ensure compliance with system requirements.
Support technical planning, Program Increment (PI) planning, staffing assessments, and engineering execution activities.
Prioritize systems engineering activities to meet technical, cost, schedule, and program milestones.
Participate in technical reviews, design reviews, customer meetings, and engineering milestone activities.
Mentor junior engineers on systems engineering best practices, requirements development, traceability, verification, and technical documentation.
Drive continuous improvement of engineering processes, systems engineering rigor, and technical documentation.
