Job Description Summary
Systems engineering is a cross-functional engineering discipline centered on an approach, mindset, and process. All activities that consider both the business and the technical needs of the customers with the goal of providing a quality product that meets the users needs. The discipline that executes a robust process of design, creation, and optimization of sys-tems, consisting of identification and quantification of system requirements, creation of al-ternate system design concepts, performance of design trade studies, selection and imple-mentation of the best designs and verification that the design is properly integrated and ex-ecuted. Process that proceeds from concept to production to operation.
