Generate and maintain antenna subsystem requirements and lower‑level child requirements with mapping to the payload performance.
Perform requirement management and maintain bidirectional traceability throughout the program life cycle.

Design Analysis & Budgeting

Lead development of the antenna design architecture and subsystem‑level performance budgets (gain, bandwidth, beam‑forming, spurious, linearity, timings, power, etc.).
Support payload and platform teams for DC power budget with traffic & utilization models
Converge cross‑disciplinary teams on a design that satisfies mission objectives and coverage.
Perform FMECA, Fault tree, reliability modeling and availability to meet mission objectives.

Integration & Verification (IVV)
