Key Responsibilities:

Assist in authoring system level requirements and their supporting narratives, ensuring clear and testable specifications.
Contribute to the CCE development guide, defining the procedures and best practices that enable collaborators to integrate with the CCE.
Assist in version control and configuration management activities for all SE artifacts-including requirements, the CCE Development Guide, and related documentation-to keep them current with design and development updates.
Serve as a liaison to subsystem stakeholders, proactively soliciting feedback, addressing inquiries, and incorporating stakeholder input into the SE artifacts.
Partner with the PaaS development team during integration activities, translating observed issues and design decisions into updated SE documentation.
Conduct systems engineering analyses-estimating node storage, CCE resource needs, and performance/reliability-to forecast the CCE's composition and capacity and inform design decisions.
Support the PaaS development team's effort to embed Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) into their routine workflow.
Partner with the SE&I Execution team to manage baseline updates, ensuring that changes related to baseline deliverables and documentation are accurately incorporated.
Collaborate with the test automation team to define verification methods for requirements, contribute to review cycles, and ensure that validation activities align with the evolving baseline.
