- Create and maintain systems engineering artifacts including ICDs, system block diagrams, ConOps, and requirements specifications
- Drive SWaP, transportability, survivability, and human factors trades that shape the product from day one
- Lead and support design reviews (SRR, PDR, CDR) with technical rigor and cross-functional alignment
- Own verification and validation planning and execution across analysis, inspection, demonstration, and test
- Support system integration activities, troubleshooting cross-discipline issues as hardware, software, and firmware come together
- Conduct FMEA/FMECA and manage technical risk throughout the development lifecycle
