Look at overall design and behaviour of system
What is a System?
Role of a Systems Engineer
Bridge between the different departments
Look at overall design and behaviour of system
System Architecture
Work closely with Product Managers and Software Engineers to develop new system behaviour
Requirements Capture
- Use Cases
- Define expected behaviour
- Drive design of other engineering departments
Conceptual Design
- Research feature
- Prototype
- Initial Software Design
Risk Analysis
- Before products are made
- What behaviours can be harmful?
- How to prevent harm from coming to users?
- Losing wheelchair control
- Fire or electrical shock
Testing
- After products are made
- Do our chairs do what we want it to do?
- Is it safe?
To be a systems engineer
- Good communication skills - verbal, written, visual
- Broad range of problem solving skills involve all departments - Mechanical, Electronics, Software
- Ability to multitask and adapt to changes quickly
- Science subjects - Maths, Physics, Chemistry, Electronics, Programming
Why be asystems engineer
- Variety of tasks
- Lots to learn
- System wide view
- Understand why we are making the products or systems
