• Provides significant contributions to the definition of system requirements and the architecture of complex subsystems and systems. Able to architect entire subsystems in some cases. May write subsystem requirements in some cases.
  Able to write subsystem specifications and drive the implementation on certain subsystems.
• Signs off and approves designs for the subsystems and systems assigned. Leads and influences the design reviews up to the subsystem level.
  Influences design engineers to use design review rigor and design for X techniques: such as design for performance, value, integration, outsourceability,manufacturability,maintainability, diagnostics, serviceability, total cycle time, COGS, quality, reliability, regulatory, etc
• Provides input to the top level system specifications, system error budget, interfaces and working parameters for the optimum hardware/software solution.
  May have ownership of subsystem performance on complex systems.
  Able to plan and lead experiments and conduct trade-off studies required to make major architecture decisions on complex subsystems
• Writes test plans, including developing the specifications for modules and some subsystems, and leads the data analysis and completion of these tests.
  Supports high level systems testing and troubleshooting of new systems.
  Able to write a test plan for a new subsystem or system.
  Provides significant contributions, and may lead the testing of certain complex improvement projects or subsystems.
• Provided significant contributions to the design for any outsourced complex subsystem, including vendor selection, NRE spending, specification writing, design reviews with the vendor, build, test, acceptance and successful integration into a system.
  Able to lead the outsourcing effort for small projects
• May lead or provide significant contributions to enable cross functional teams to solve system problems from MFG and the field.
  Able to lead a cross functional team on product improvements.
• Able to investigate the development of new features for complex systems.
