What are your main responsibilities within your current role?
I have a pretty dynamic role. I'm hired as a systems engineer, but systems engineering is super broad. You can go into software, requirements, or, like me, the test side.
Right now, I've been in charge of test planning for a program. I test small components, like a GPS receiver, or the whole system.
Before we deliver anything to the customer, who in this case is the government, we have to certify that it does what it's supposed to do. My job is to plan all those tests. They give us a list of requirements, like needing to track things at a certain distance. I have to test that and show how we'll develop the test and check off that the system is good.
