On any given day, you may be called upon to:

Provide critical design contributions throughout the entire product lifecycle, including requirements engineering and traceability, verification and validation (V&V), risk analysis, and technical documentation, at both system and subsystem levels.

Develop, at both system and subsystem levels, requirements traceability reports, verification/validation plans, qualification plans (PQs), and essential Engineering Authorizations that ensure the product fully meets its requirements and design intent.
