Own day-to-day technical integration across hardware, payload, and embedded subsystems, working directly with engineering teams to resolve interface conflicts as they arise.
Apply discipline across integration activities, maintaining traceability between requirements, design, and verification.
Translate requirements and constraints between hardware, software, payload, and systems engineering teams, closing ambiguity at the interfaces rather than escalating it.
Identify and resolve technical dependencies across teams before they become integration blockers, not after.
Introduce structure, documentation, and change control into an integration function that doesn't have it yet, without freezing the speed the program needs.
Work hands-on with engineers on the test floor and at the bench when a problem needs solving in person, not via status update.
Act as a technical sparring partner to the integration lead, sharing context and pressure-testing decisions across the integration scope.
Shape the build-out of the wider integration team, contributing to role definition and technical interviewing as the team scales.
Report integration status, risks, and blockers in terms program leadership can act on, translating engineering reality into business decisions.
