Strategic MBSE Requirements & ICD Lead

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the Development of Satellite Interface Control Documents (ICDs) for spacecraft, ground systems, payloads, and cross-system interfaces in a Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) environment.
• Work closely with the Configuration Management team in preparing for Engineering Review Boards (ERBs) and Configuration Control Boards (CCBs).
• Develop interface diagrams, data dictionaries, message formats, command and telemetry mappings, and system-level interface descriptions.
• Identify interface risks and drive technical issue resolution across engineering teams.
• Support system integration and test activities by providing authoritative interface documentation and clarification.
• Ensure that documentation complies with best practices, program standards, and regulatory requirements.
• Provide technical Subject Matter Expert (SME) in reviewing Prime contract Change Proposals.
• Manage and coordinate Interface Control Working Groups (ICWGs), ensuring consistent communication across all stakeholders.
