Ensure engineering work complies with applicable customer requirements, contractual commitments, company processes, quality standards, and regulatory requirements.
Lead technical interchange meetings and communicate system performance, risks, decisions, and recommendations to customers and senior stakeholders.
Review and approve key engineering products, analyses, specifications, test procedures, reports, and technical dispositions.
Coordinate system-level interfaces with aircraft, shipboard, electrical, control, launch, and support systems.
Support proposal development, technology planning, cost and schedule estimates, make-or-buy decisions, and business development activities.
Partner with manufacturing and operations to ensure designs are producible, supportable, and suitable for transition to production.
Promote disciplined systems engineering, configuration management, risk management, and lessons-learned practices.
