Duties:
Plays an essential role in the conceptualization, design, development, testing, and deployment of complex systems.
Systems Design: Conduct interviews, workshops, and surveys for system requirements gathering, aligning with industry best practices. Develop system architecture models using SysML and MBSE techniques, ensuring clear visualization of, hardware and software, system components and interactions. Analyze current conditions and utilize MCDA to evaluate and incorporate optimal technological solutions, considering factors such as cost, performance, scalability, and long-term maintainability. Implement requirements traceability matrices to ensure full coverage of user needs throughout the development lifecycle.
System Development, Integration, Implementation and Deployment: Develop, implement, integrate, and deploy comprehensive systems incorporating a wide range of electronic components and software solutions. This encompasses the full lifecycle of various electronic systems, including RF systems, microcontrollers, PLCs, electronic security devices, sensing and measurement devices, electronic interface devices, networked security and surveillance devices, and power protection systems (e.g. UPS). Configure, test, and deploy these systems to ensure optimal functionality, performance, and seamless integration across multiple platforms and protocols. Develop and implement advanced security systems with analytics capabilities, leveraging AI for anomaly detection. Develop and implement robust wireless communication systems for reliable connectivity and electronic interface devices for seamless human-machine interaction. Develop custom software solutions using languages such as Python, C++, Java, and Go. Optimize SQL queries and design efficient database schemas, utilizing both relational and NoSQL databases as appropriate. Implement interfaces and communication protocols to enable cohesive interaction between disparate hardware components and software elements. Utilize integration frameworks and create adapters when necessary to ensure smooth data flow and command execution across the integrated system. Implement middleware solutions to bridge gaps between legacy systems and modern technologies. Develop integration documentation, including detailed ICDs, system interface diagrams, and API specifications, clearly outlining data formats and communication protocols for each integrated component. Establish redundancy and failover systems to ensure high availability and reliability of the integrated solution. Implement secure authentication and authorization mechanisms for cross-system interactions. Manage end-to-end infrastructure development, including server setup, network configuration, and implementation of both local and cloud-based data storage solutions. Implement a centralized system monitoring and management console to provide real-time visibility into the performance and status of all integrated components.
System Functionality and Operational Readiness (SFOR): Define SFOR criteria including MTBF, MTTR, and uptime requirements. Implement automated hardware and software testing frameworks for continuous system validation, ensuring high availability and operational efficiency. Perform in-depth RCA and FMEA to ensure system reliability and performance.
System Analysis, Debugging and Performance Monitoring: Implement comprehensive troubleshooting tools such as automated log analysis and error reporting systems. Utilize diagnostic tools such as Wireshark to monitor different system performance. Develop custom monitoring dashboards using tools such as Grafana for real-time system health visualization, enabling proactive maintenance and rapid response to potential issues. Implement predictive maintenance strategies using ML models to anticipate and prevent system failures. Provide strategic technical guidance, oversight, and targeted mentorship to junior team members, accelerating their skill development and productivity.
