Responsibilities

Deliver the subsystem. Own the design, analysis, build, test, and delivery of the avionics subsystem within its allocated technical and cost targets. Run practical trades to hit those targets, and escalate to program leadership when the subsystem can't meet cost or technical requirements.
Own subsystem requirements and verification. Turn your subsystem allocation into subsystem and component specifications, working with the program's Systems Engineer and Chief Engineer. Keep the verification matrix complete, and close out verification items through qualification and acceptance.
Manage subsystem interfaces. Set up and maintain ICDs with adjacent subsystems (power, RF, harness, FSW, structures, thermal), and work through interface issues with their leads directly.
Drive the schedule. Feed subsystem milestones into the program IMS, plan the detailed work behind them, and update status weekly. Flag slips early and bring recovery options with you.
Report performance. Give timely status against the Technical Performance Measures (TPMs) for your subsystem, such as mass, power, thermal dissipation, cost, and margin.
Own subsystem risk. Build and maintain the subsystem risk register, covering technical, supply, schedule, and cost risk, and raise risks that threaten program success.
Lead design reviews. Present your subsystem at PDR, CDR, TRR, and tabletop reviews, with the analysis behind your design choices (worst-case, thermal, radiation, derating).
Manage suppliers. Write the technical sections of SOWs, review proposals, help select vendors with Supply Chain, review acceptance data before shipment, and witness supplier testing.
Run build and test. Coordinate daily with the engineers and technicians building and testing hardware, and remove blockers. Lead anomaly investigations and corrective action with Quality. Decide on retest, rework, or use-as-is together with the CE.
Support integration and operations. Support vehicle integration, environmental test (TVAC, vibe, shock), launch-site operations, commissioning, and on-orbit anomaly response. Feed lessons learned into the next design.
Make decisions. Make the day-to-day calls that don't affect subsystem requirements, the cost baseline, or the delivery schedule, and tell the CE, PM, and functional leaders what you decided. Escalate decisions that cross those thresholds, along with a recommendation.
Follow process. Run your scope through company processes for change management (ECO/ERB), anomaly resolution, and configuration control.
