    • You lead the derivation, structuring, and prioritization of system requirements and translate them into robust, scalable system and subsystem architectures.
    • You define architecture principles, interfaces, and design decisions at system, subsystem, and component levels.
    • You coordinate the architectural alignment between hardware, software, antennas, signal processing, and platform.
    • You evaluate architecture variants in terms of performance, risk, cost, time, and technical feasibility.
    • You oversee verification and validation concepts (e.g., functional tests, environmental, radiation, shaker, and TVAC tests) from an architectural perspective.
    • You lead and moderate architecture, design, and review processes (SRR, PDR, CDR).
    • You act as a technical mentor and sparring partner for systems engineering, development teams, and project management.
    • You create and are responsible for the system architecture documentation throughout the entire lifecycle.
