* Partner with system architect to create and document visual descriptions of systems and subsystems and their inputs and outputs.
* Establish the interfaces between the sub-systems, define/refine control algorithms or even design sub-systems that are electro-mechanical in nature.
* Take ownership of managing sub-system/system level requirements and track changes.
