Requirements & Systems Engineering
Capture stakeholder functional, performance, environmental, and security requirements.
Conduct workshops and trade studies to define mission needs.
Translate mission objectives into system-level requirements with full traceability.
Define and manage spacecraft, payload, and ground-segment interfaces (ICDs, data flows).
CONOPS & Mission Analysis
Develop and maintain the Concept of Operations (CONOPS) covering all mission phases.
Produce supporting artifacts (timelines, scenarios, flow diagrams).
Perform mission modeling and analysis (orbit, coverage, link budget, resources).
Evaluate architectural trade-offs (orbit, constellation, payload) across cost, risk, and performance.
Integration, Verification & Program Support
Develop verification plans, test matrices, and validation procedures.
Support system integration, IVV activities, and operational readiness.
Present technical results at key reviews (SRR, PDR, CDR, ORR).
Maintain configuration control within PLM tools.
Support B&P activities and technology roadmapping.
Operations & On-Orbit Support
Support mission operations during critical phases.
