The ESI has a strong understanding of Electrical SV Subsystems (EPS, GN&C, COMMS, etc.), the internal/external interfaces, and how the system functions within a complex System-of-Systems operation. A successful ESI seeks to move the design/build/test of the SV forward within the framework of the program, while demonstrating the ability to manage priorities and make proper risk-based decisions related to SV build/performance within the program’s cost & schedule constraints. You will support the SV System CPE to help drive the overall system design, requirements definition and decomposition, test execution, verification, and certification activities in support of completing key program milestones within budget and schedule. You will provide technical leadership to a small team of junior ESIs. In this role you will:\nPerform system level design and decomposition into requirements, lead trade studies and layout, collaborate with the engineering teams\nWork with IPTs and SMEs to define, document, & manage the system analyses, interfaces, and requirements between the flight systems, EGSE, processing equipment, test fixturing, and other external interfaces\nEnsure the end-to-end compatibility of interfaces throughout the SV\nLead & perform technical analysis of complex system problems and develop solutions to those problems, including channelization, compatibility, and failure analyses\nLead electrical integration, test planning, and test execution, driving efficiencies\nCoordinate with IPT teams and test organization to ensure compatibility of the interfacing equipment with the Flight system\nParticipate in and coordinate design reviews and technical product reviews\nLead and participate in failure investigations and review boards\nOperate using Systems Engineering processes & functions, tailored to a go-fast program\nEnsure technical risks are adequately represented\nThe information below reflects the standard job description for this position:\nPerforms technical planning, system integration, verification and validation, cost and risk, and supportability and effectiveness analyses for total systems. Analyses are performed at all levels of total system product to include concept, design, fabrication, test, installation, operation, maintenance and disposal. Ensures the logical and systematic conversion of customer or product requirements into total systems solutions that acknowledge technical, schedule, and cost constraints. Performs functional analysis, timeline analysis, detail trade studies, requirements allocation and interface definition studies to translate customer requirements into hardware and software specifications.
