Our Systems Engineers work in multidisciplinary teams spanning a range of activities pulling together the necessary engineering and technology strands into a high-performance system, bridging the gap between the theoretically possible and the practically implementable.

Examples of Work

 * Engaging with stakeholders, defining requirements for a new system
 * Conducting cost and functional performance trade-offs and evaluation of proposed solutions
 * Integrating new functionality into an existing system
 * Development of capability within limitations and constraints of the target hardware
 * Root-cause analysis of anomalies observed during integration or evaluation activities
