Responsibilities

• Review program portfolios to evaluate or recommend alternative plans, improve systems engineering programs and processes, manage and sustain program technical baselines, and design and perform system-level tests to verify performance against approved specifications.
• Conduct program reviews of alternative plans, systems engineering programs, designs, and test results to verify subsystem and system performance against program specifications.
• Prepare technical documents defining, specifying, and recommending system and subsystem characteristics.
• Prepare management reports and conduct technical presentations for planning, implementation, and corrective action using engineering economy principles.
• Validate systems, including developing validation criteria and procedures, and analyze or evaluate results of major engineering systems.
