- Gather and trace payload requirements from mission level to subsystem level.
- Design SAR payload architecture, including antenna arrays, RF front-end Tx/Rx, digital beamforming, processing chain, digital electronics, power, thermal, and mass.
- Lead conceptual, preliminary, and detailed design, including trade studies and performance budgets.
- Produce ICDs, specify hardware, and review schematics and layouts.
- Run performance simulations for tolerance budgeting and image quality, and support SAR and moving-target-indication algorithm development.
- Develop payload DC power budgets and support FMECA, fault tree, FDIR, and reliability activities.
- Build the payload verification master plan for unit, subsystem, payload, environmental, and EMC tests.
- Lead test automation and reporting.
- Support mission operations through payload health monitoring, on-orbit anomaly root-cause analysis, telemetry analysis, and operator training.
