· Support a small cross-functional hardware development team, establishing technical priorities and driving execution from concept through production
· Support hardware systems engineering from early product definition through architecture, requirements, qualification, production, and lifecycle support
· Define system architectures and allocate functionality across mechanical, electrical, RF, software, and test subsystems
· Define and coordinate internal and external interfaces
· Support system-level trade studies balancing performance, SWaP-C, manufacturability, reliability, schedule, and cost
· Make timely technical decisions under ambiguity while balancing mission performance, risk, schedule, manufacturability, and cost
· Develop new product concepts and support proposals and technology demonstrations
· Identify technical risks early and drive practical mitigation strategies
· Support technical reviews including SRR, PDR, CDR, TRR
· Personally contribute to critical engineering work as needed to ensure team and program success
· Collaborate with manufacturing, suppliers, and test teams to mature designs into production
