This role is responsible for eliciting, analyzing, and documenting business and operational needs and transforming them into structured, testable, and traceable system-level requirements that drive software development across the SDLC. The ideal candidate is skilled in working with diverse stakeholders-including traffic engineering experts, product management, UI/UX designers, and software developers-to define clear functional and non-functional requirements for complex systems such as ramp metering, traffic management, and intelligent transportation solutions., Requirements Elicitation & Analysis * Conduct structured interviews and working sessions with Subject Matter Experts (e.g., ramp metering, signal timing, corridor management) to capture business needs and operational workflows. * Analyze and decompose high-level business requirements into detailed system requirements and feature specifications. * Identify functional, non-functional, interface, and performance requirements across system components. Requirements Documentation & Management * Author clear, concise, and testable system requirements, use cases, and user stories. * Create and maintain requirement artifacts including: * System Requirement Specifications (SRS) * Feature definitions and acceptance criteria * Workflow diagrams and functional models * Ensure requirements are traceable across the SDLC (business need, system requirement, implementation, test validation). Cross-Functional Collaboration * Serve as the primary liaison between SMEs and engineering teams to ensure accurate interpretation of requirements. * Collaborate with: * UI/UX designers to translate functional workflows into user experiences * Software developers to clarify requirements and support implementation * QA engineers to define acceptance criteria and validate test coverage * Participate in Agile ceremonies (backlog grooming, sprint planning, reviews). Domain & Feature Development * Develop deep understanding of transportation systems (e.g., ramp metering, traffic signal control, incident management). * Translate domain-specific logic into software-ready requirements (e.g., control algorithms, timing strategies, operator workflows). * Support iterative feature development by refining requirements based on feedback and testing outcomes. Quality & SDLC Alignment * Ensure requirements support development best practices and quality targets across the SDLC. * Assist in defining acceptance criteria and validation strategies with QA teams. * Review deliverables to ensure alignment with defined requirements and intended system behavior. ## Related Videos - [Improving quality with Agentic AI with Rovo Dev and Xray](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2005-improving-quality-with-agentic-ai-with-rovo-dev-and-xray) - [Agile work at CARIAD – Creating a customer web application for controlling the vehicle ](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/200-agile-work-at-cariad-creating-a-customer-web-application-for-controlling-the-vehicle) - [ChatGPT and Java: A Match Made in Heaven or Hell?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/536-chatgpt-and-java-a-match-made-in-heaven-or-hell) - [42 x 2 Canvases Later: Two Years, Two Minds, Many Lessons](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1458-42-x-2-canvases-later-two-years-two-minds-many-lessons) - [A Founder's Journey : From Startup Chaos to Purposeful Growth](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1926-a-founder-s-journey-from-startup-chaos-to-purposeful-growth) - [Designing UX for SRE Agents in High-Stakes Incidents](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100003-designing-ux-for-sre-agents-in-high-stakes-incidents) ## Related Articles - [How software is steering vehicle technology](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/515-how-software-is-steering-vehicle-technology) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [System change: restart as developer?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/39-system-change-restart-as-developer) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [Where To Find Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/396-where-to-find-software-engineering-jobs)
