• Prepare and participate in system design reviews in accordance with MIL-STD-1521, or similar internal process
• Develop system integration cases and procedures of optical components and sub-assemblies
• Develop and perform verification testing of optical components and sub-assemblies
• Create traceability artifacts from system functional requirements
• Create and present systems and optical content for all design reviews, both internal and external
• Seek to identify possible problems presented in applicable projects that may cause a delay or exceed budget and contribute to finding appropriate solutions
