Collaborate with systems architects, engineers, and program managers to ensure coherent system design across hardware, software, and networks.

Participate in design reviews, risk assessments, and change management activities.

Contribute to test planning, verification & validation (V&V), and acceptance to ensure compliance with requirements.
