• Identify, track, and help resolve technical and programmatic integration risks, gaps, and blockers across complex hardware systems.
• Support requirements flow down, interface management, verification planning, integration readiness reviews, and test readiness activities.
• Cook up integration-related inputs across design, procurement, manufacturing, assembly, test, and delivery schedules to ensure teams are working from a shared plan.
• Communicate integration status, risks, decisions, and priorities clearly to technical teams, project leadership, and cross-functional stakeholders.
