• Provide technical integration with other engineering disciplines, Human Landing System elements, and cross-program elements, including risk-based insight/oversight through traceability and assessment of interface design activities.

• Support Human Landing System element and/or subsystem design trades and analysis necessary to validate the requirements, maintain control of the system baseline, and continually track compliance of the system requirements during design, development, testing, and evaluation.

• Perform thorough technical assessments of proposed internal and external interface requirements to understand the impacts imposed by modifications.

• Provide support for Design Analysis Cycle (DAC) planning, execution, coordination, and integration for the interface definition and interface control requirements to assure design compliance.

• Communicate issues, best practices, lessons-learned and other technical findings related to systems engineering, requirements management, and integration practices and procedures.
