Cross‑Functional Coordination, Stakeholders & Program Interaction

  • Communicate technical status, risk assessments, and trade study results to program management and/or customers/partners.
  • Support payload design authority during design reviews (power/structure/thermal interfaces and mission operations assessments).
  • Interface with Electrical, Power, Structures, Thermal, Software, Ground Segment, and Mission Operations teams to resolve integration issues early.
  • Support B&P activities (Phase 0 & Pre‑Phase A).
  • Develop the payload verification plan covering unit and system testing, environmental testing, and EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) testing.
