Senior staff systems engineer example responsibilities.

• Develop and integrate software that drives flight control system hardware and achieves product requirements for an international avionics customer base.
• Used Chicago, GPO, and DoD style manuals.
• Design electrical heater control with improve immunity to RF.
• Organize and perform the RF spectrum interference analysis with mitigation solutions.
• Author EMC white papers on symmetrix-base solutions and implementation best practices, to directly support sales/service delivery.
• Perform communications interference analyses involving various customer spacecraft and NASA assets, including characterization of communications degradation due to co-channel interferers.
