• Participate in an Integrated Product Team to design new capabilities based upon evaluation of all necessary development and operational considerations

• Allocate real-time process budgets and error budgets to systems and subsystem components

• Generate alternative system concepts, physical architectures, and design solutions

• Define the methods, processes, and evaluation criteria by which the systems, subsystems and work products are verified against their requirements in a written plan

• Develop system design solution that satisfies the system requirements and fulfills the functional analysis

• Review and provide input to program and contract work breakdown structure (WBS), work packages and the integrated master plan (IMP)

• Participate in the development of system engineering documentation, such as System Engineering Plans, Initial Capabilities Documents, Requirements Specifications, and Interface Control Documents

• Participate in interface definition, design, and changes to the configuration between affected groups and individuals throughout the life cycle

• Derive from the system requirements an understanding of stakeholder needs, functions that may be logically inferred and implied as essential to system effectiveness

• Derive lower-level requirements from higher-level allocated requirements that describe in detail the functions that a system component must fulfill, and ensure these requirements are complete, correct, unique, unambiguous, realizable, and verifiable

• Participate in establishing and gaining approval of the definition of a system or component under development (requirements, designs, interfaces, test procedures, etc.) that provides a common reference point for hardware and software developers
