Collaborate with engineering leadership, program management, and stakeholders to define and decompose system and stakeholder requirements. Develop and manage system design models, technical specifications, diagrams, and charts to direct product development efforts. Serve as the technical interface with external customers, ensuring that all customer requirements are translated into comprehensive systems solutions. Perform cost-benefit analyses, risk assessments, and generate system performance risks with mitigation strategies. Oversee the full lifecycle development process—from initial planning and design verification to integration, testing, and validation. Conduct system safety engineering, performing analyses including Preliminary Hazard Analysis (PHA), Fault Tree Analysis (FTA), Failure Mode Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA), and Safety Assessment Reports (SAR) in accordance with MIL-STD-882E and industry standards. Lead a structured Failure Reporting, Analysis, and Corrective Action System (FRACAS) process to identify, document, and resolve system shortcomings. Develop and refine system safety protocols, including drafting system safety requirements within DOORS and supporting flow-down of safety attributes.
