This is a system-level role for an engineer who can hold the whole payload in their head - defining the electrical architecture, making the build-versus-buy and COTS-versus-rad-hard tradeoffs that keep schedule and cost in check, and then going hands-on to lay out, bring up, and qualify the hardware. We are extending that capability into orbit - building space-based EO/IR and sensing payloads under a New Space philosophy: aggressive schedules, commercial-cadence engineering, and a relentless bias toward flying hardware.
