Mission requirements ownership — decomposing customer/contract requirements, allocating them to subsystem and payload budgets, and maintaining the requirements compliance matrix for the assigned mission.
Interface control — developing and baselining mission-specific ICDs consistent with the enterprise electrical and system ICD framework; coordinating interface changes with subsystem owners and the CSE organization.
Verification & Validation — building and executing the mission V&V plan, defining and tracking Technical Performance Measures (TPMs), planning environmental test campaigns (TVAC, vibration/acoustic, EMI/EMC), and dispositioning test data and anomalies for the assigned mission.
Integration & Test support — supporting AI&T campaign planning and execution for the mission, including FlatSat/Hardware in-the Loop activities, test readiness reviews, and anomaly investigation for mission-specific hardware and interfaces.
Program and customer interface — serving as the technical point of contact to the government customer and Program Manager for the assigned contract; preparing for and presenting at contract technical reviews and milestones (e.g., SRR, PDR, CDR, TRR) and closing associated action items.
Configuration management — maintaining the mission’s configuration baseline, participating in the Configuration Control Board process, and managing engineering change orders affecting the assigned contract.
Digital thread / MBSE — maintaining mission-level traceability between requirements, design artifacts, verification evidence, and as-built records within the enterprise digital thread; working familiarity with MBSE tools (DOORS NG, Cameo, SysML).
Contract deliverables — supporting preparation of contract data requirements list (CDRL) items and other government deliverables related to systems engineering.
