DESIGN INTERFACE ENGINEER - 1133902402807

Responsibilities

• Interface Control Management:
• Define and maintain interface control documents (ICDs) that specify system boundaries, interaction points, and technical requirements.
• Ensure compatibility between subsystems such as avionics, sensors, communications, propulsion, and software platforms.
• Design Collaboration Across Disciplines:
• Work closely with systems engineers, software developers, hardware teams, and test engineers to resolve interface challenges and ensure accurate compatibility.
• Act as the liaison between engineering disciplines to facilitate efficient integration of complex systems.
• Systems Integration and Analysis:
• Conduct technical reviews and performance analysis to evaluate design integration, assess risks, and identify interdependencies.
• Simulate and validate interface designs using MBSE tools and methodologies, ensuring compliance with program requirements and industry standards.
• Documentation and Standardization:
• Develop and maintain comprehensive documentation of design interfaces, configurations, and technical solutions.
• Ensure adherence to military and aerospace standards, such as MIL-STD specifications and DoD best practices.
• Risk Mitigation:
• Identify and mitigate risks related to interface compatibility, communication bottlenecks, and integration points during the design and testing lifecycle.
• Integrated Product Team (IPT) Collaboration:
• Support IPT efforts to align technical solutions with mission outcomes, ensuring all design interfaces meet operational needs and stakeholder expectations.
