• Create and maintain Behavioral Test Specifications (BTS) documents for applicable subsystems.
• Collaborate with Functional System Architects and Senior Systems Engineers on requirement structure and intent and implement into testable specifications.
• Collaborate with System Engineers to decompose high-level requirements into lower-level requirements.
• Lead development meetings and discussions with key stakeholders to develop behavioral requirements.
• Create and maintain documentation in requirements management tools (e.g., DNG, Markdown, etc.).
• Develop detailed SysML diagrams such as use case diagrams and activity diagrams to support solution function development in Rhapsody.
• Lead the root cause analysis for all applicable sub-system related issues and translate solutions into new or revised requirements.
• Lead the sub-system level FMEAs and collaborate on System and Component FMEAs and manage FMEA processes across applicable sub-systems.
• Collaborate with V&V engineers and software engineers to review requirements and software implementation to ensure compliance.
• Create/execute features/stories in Jira to manage requirements development activities.
