A day in the life
The Systems Engineer begins by reviewing the latest airspace regulations and industry standards. They then collaborate with cross-functional teams to define site-specific requirements for expanding the automated traffic management system to multiple locations within different jurisdictions. This is followed by a deep dive into the compliance matrix, validating the system's adherence to internal and external regulatory and safety requirements. The day concludes with writing a verification plan to ensure critical system requirements are adequately tested. Leveraging technical expertise, analytical skills, and collaboration, the engineer drives the successful integration and deployment of the automated traffic management solution.
