In this new global era, consumers of complex products require safety, reliability, quality, and performance, and of course, always with low cost. The producer needs to do all this whilst meeting production schedules. To meet these disparate goals and also comply with consumer, regulatory, and industry standard requirements, system engineering management processes and tools have been created and implemented throughout commercial and governmental programs.
This presentation is a primer on system engineering and walks the attendees through specific events in the life-cycle (development, qualification, and acceptance) of a product where it is possible to create or limit the potential to create "backdoors" of a product or system.
After many years working within the space industry developing spacecraft, satellites, and science payloads for manned and unmanned missions, I have switched industries and have brought my system engineering skills to the greentech world. My interest for the interdisciplinary approach in system engineering has led me in the development and maintenance of system engineering management processes, plans, and documents. I have been responsible for system, assembly, and component level verification and validation planning and execution during the total program life-cycle. I have created training materials and trained staff in system engineering management, requirements, verification, and validation. I have been active in promoting public policy, education and outreach for the engineering and space exploration community.
Wanna be JOAT and researching past lives to implement.
