-Define top-level requirements for systems and systems-of-systems, as well as decomposing subsequent levels of requirements for subsystems
-Track defined requirements against testable and verifiable milestones as the program evolves
-Define system technical performance measures, including KPPs, TPMs, MOEs, and MOPs, and support their tracking over time
-Define use cases and flow diagrams in a Model Based Systems Engineering environment
-Translate roles and responsibilities defined though concept development into use case activity diagrams
-Perform detailed behavioral development for the system of interest
-Develop functional architectures and associated interfaces to support lower level physical architectural development
-Support the generation of safety related artifacts (FHAs, FTAs, FMEAs, FMECAs) per SAE ARP4761 and MIL-STD-882E
-Define and track programs risks, including mitigation plans to reduce program risk over time
