Summary
Focuses on the holistic, interdisciplinary engineering of complete systems across the lifecycle — eliciting and decomposing requirements, architecting system and subsystem solutions, managing interfaces, and coordinating integration, verification and validation across hardware and software domains. Distinct from discipline-specific design focuses (electrical, mechanical, software) by owning the total-system solution, cross-domain functional allocation, and Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) artifacts rather than building individual components.
