General tasks

• Develop, review, and comment on systems and sub-systems interface documentation (including but not limited to Interface Requirement Documents and Interface Control Documents);
• Review and evaluate engineering details (plans, specifications and related data) to assess their adequacy/suitability, and evaluate and make recommendations on system level solutions for discrepancies, deficiencies and changes to equipment and specifications, as directed;
• Coordinate with sub-system engineering groups and IPT to ensure system integrity, performance, reliability and maintainability;
• Conduct and monitor systems integration testing and evaluation; and provide system integration, analysis and evaluation services;
• Prepare procurement support documentation for TA approval such as technical data specifications, plans and drawings, standards and SOWs for miscellaneous interface and facility ancillary items;
• Review, analyze and provide recommendations relating to system software and its associated documentation;
• Attend, on an “as required” basis, design, technical and management reviews or meetings in support of R&CS and ADS projects in order to monitor and provide recommendations on progress and potential problems;
• Provide assistance in solving technical and engineering problems and recommend cost effective solutions;
• Evaluate, review or assess proposed test plans, proposals procedures and reports,
• Review, and provide technical recommendations in the evaluation of test and evaluation plans and present the results;
• Review and report on suitability of contractor produced documentation (i.e. DIDs);
• Conduct and perform engineering and technical definition studies, functional analysis, option analysis, feasibility studies, cost estimates, and cost benefit analysis;
• Provide engineering services for the investigation and resolution of problems in equipment design, operation, and training;
