  • Support subsystem and program milestones/gates with appropriate analyses, presentations, and coordination.
  • Support identification, procurement, development, test, and integration of hardware, software, and support equipment.
  • Manage an incremental assembly, integration, and test strategy to adequately demonstrate subsystem compliance to requirements and interface integrity.
  • Support systems-level engineering trades.
  • Support LEOPS, on-orbit test, and post-delivery plans and execution.
  • Maintain a regular and predictable work schedule.
  • Establish and maintain effective working relationships within the department, the Strategic Business Units, Strategic Capabilities Units and the Company. Interact appropriately with others in order to maintain a positive and productive work environment.
  • Perform other duties as necessary.
