- Lead architecture planning and ensuring customer requirements will be met.
- Perform V&V on RF algorithms in isolation and integrated into larger systems.
- Perform systems engineering tasks throughout a program or Research and Development (R&D) project lifecycle.
- Contribute to the decomposition and allocation of RF payload requirements to lower-level specifications. Refine requirements as necessary.
- Develop software Interface Control Documents (ICD).
- Collaborate with subject matter experts from other disciplines.
- Work alongside AI&T engineers to support the test configurations, verification approaches, and analysis plans necessary for system verification.
- Prepare and deliver presentations to peers, management, and/or customers, as required.
- Support program gates such as the System Requirements Review (SRR), Preliminary Design Review (PDR), Critical Design Review (CDR), and Test Readiness Review (TRR).
- Maintain a regular and predictable work schedule.
- Establish and maintain effective working relationships within the department, the Strategic Business Units, Strategic Capabilities Units and the Company. Interact appropriately with others in order to maintain a positive and productive work environment.
