Responsibilities
Define top-down use cases, system architecture, and design reference missions for products alongside product architects and responsible engineers
Define, document, and maintain system requirements (design criteria) using Jama and in-house developed tools/environments
Work closely with engineering teams to ensure requirements are accurately interpreted and implemented
Maintain up-to-date technical documentation for system requirements, testing requirements, verification and validation
Clearly articulate technical information to stakeholders at all levels, ensuring alignment of objectives across engineering, software, and mission operations
Participate in systems engineering activities including concept development, system design, integration, and testing
Develop, own, and execute subsystem- and system-level verification and validation (V&V) plans to ensure designs meet functional, performance, autonomy, reliability, and safety requirements
Define test objectives, configurations, procedures, and success criteria for subsystem and full-system integration tests
Lead root cause analysis/failure investigation, and corrective action for issues found during R&D and qualification testing alongside the development, quality, and test teams
Analyze test results to identify design issues, system interactions, or performance shortfalls; clearly communicate findings and recommended actions
Lead acceptance test execution for engineering stakeholders with production
Lead development of preventive maintenance plans for all product variants for engineering stakeholders with quality
Partner with design engineers as a critical partner to identify risk as early as possible through tools such as Design Failure Modes and Effects Analysis, Physics of Failure Methodologies, and analysis + test data reviews, then coordinate mitigation action plans to proactively lead the design reliability effort for the product or subsystem
Develop and maintain internal data analysis and visualization tools to streamline test reporting and decision-making
Collaborate closely with mission operations, design engineers, and other stakeholders to collect, analyze, and interpret in-field or post-deployment data, feeding results back into design iterations
