compatibility analysis, and manage electrical
subsystem designs to ensure compliance with
the spacecraft level technical baseline,
maintaining end-to-end compatibility, functional
allocations, and margins

• Perform verification and validation flow for key
system level electrical requirements

• Perform risk mitigation activities for complex
interfaces to ensure a smooth integration at the

inappropriate compromise and risk, checks
programmatic decisions, and balances technical
performance, cost, schedule, and risk, while
ensuring mission success

risk), and closure (dedication to close open
items/issues) to ensure mission success

• Good facilitator and able to lead resolution of
issues

• Demonstrated ability to effectively
communicate complex design information,
technical decisions and issues to both highly
technical and non-technical reviewers.

• Ability to analyze data from spacecraft
subsystem providers (e.g. bus, payload) and
