🚀 Are you new to Systems Engineering, or curious about how it all works? Reduce confusion and get a jump start on your work by knowing the CONTEXT of why we do SE in the first place. Understanding the top-level purpose and context of systems engineering will boost your impact and long-term success in a technical organization, especially within a systems engineering group. This is particularly important for Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) projects, since the project milestones can look very different. Here's what to know right away: 🔹 The Purpose: Systems engineering transforms customer requests into a functional product or system. This means capturing customer needs, defining requirements, and ensuring the final product meets those needs effectively. 🔹 The Systems Engineering Process: This involves a structured sequence of steps that guide a team from initial customer concept and paint point, to an agreed-upon set of requirements - through design, development, and testing to final verification, validation and deployment. Each phase looks at the system's development, performance, cost, and schedule performance to ensure not just that the technical work is proceeding - but that the correct system is being built in the first place! It's easy to get off-track, with large or distributed teams. 🔹 Relation to Project Management: Systems engineering and project management go hand-in-hand. While project management focuses on timelines, resources, and stakeholder management, systems engineering ensures technical execution, developing the correct product, working the interfaces and ultimately coming up with a solution that solves the original pain-point. None of the technical work can exist in a vacuum - and together, both are needed to drive project success. 🔹 Connection to Engineering Operations: Engineering operations are the practical execution arm of realizing a technical product or system in a "real-world" organization or institution. They facilitate the resources so engineers can work the requirements, implement the designs, and run the verification strategy. They allow management to set up the structure to run the day-to-day technical (and support) tasks, and ensure the final product is built and operated as intended. Even something as basic as reserving time in the test-bed, involves how an organization does its business! This among other areas, are included in engineering operations. By embracing this knowledge you will excel in your role as a new systems engineer. We do this, by integrating these principles into our daily work, in our suggestions at meetings, and in what we propose to management. Good luck in your career! 🌟 Comment below, what you think!

🌐 Exploring Technology and Engineering As many of you know, I have spent a significant time of my career working in the oil and gas industry, where I’ve honed my skills in production chemistry, flow assurance and optimization engineering. This role has given me invaluable experience in problem-solving, critical thinking, and optimizing complex processes—all of which are crucial in ensuring smooth operations, maintaining the integrity of production systems and ensuring crude product that meets market specifications. But outside of this, I’ve also nurtured a passion for technology, particularly in the area of Product (UI/UX) design. My experience in engineering has provided me with a unique perspective on user-centric design, allowing me to approach challenges with a focus on efficiency, functionality, and innovation. Working a remotely as a Senior Product (UI/UX) Designer, I have been able to bring this technical mindset into creating digital products that are not only user-friendly but also aligned with the rigorous standards and attention to detail that I’ve developed in my engineering career. The crossover between these two fields has been incredibly rewarding, as both require a deep understanding of systems, user needs, and the importance of continuous improvement. I believe that technology and engineering are more interconnected than ever, and I’m excited to continue exploring how these two worlds can complement and enhance each other. Whether in the lab, oil field or behind a screen, my goal remains the same: to create solutions that drive results and improve experiences, no matter the industry. #Engineering #UIUXDesign #Innovation #ProblemSolving #UserExperience #ProductionChemist #ProductDesigner

Should Engineers Learn Project Management Yes. An engineers job is to execute projects. Whether it's building a robotic arm for industrial purposes or creating an electronics ches board or developing a machine that recycles plastic without electricity. These projects would have three primary constraints, the scope, time and budget. An engineer needs to organize, plan, and execute projects while working within the outlined primary constraints. The engineer may lead entire teams, define project goals, communicate with stakeholders, and see the projects through to closure. Endeavor to learn soft skills such as communication, presentation, problem solving, critical thinking, time management, etc to compliment any hardware skill you might have.

🌟 Delayed Projects – What is the real Cause? 🌟 Project delays are a reality, rarely caused by a single factor. But in my experience, it is often caused by late-discovered requirement deviations that lead to late tool changes and complications. Against this background, requirements verification should receive a higher priority in product development projects than it does today. Requirements verification is a complex process that is often dependent on both hardware and software.Unfortunately, too often we see a fragmented verification plan, scattered across different Excel sheets, which leads to a lack of overview of the process. Software and hardware development proceeds without clear synchronization with the verification process, creating unnecessary challenges along the way. Instead, I advocate an integrated work method and planning where the verification is a central part and is planned together with and sets requirements for deliveries from both software and hardware. By letting the verification process guide the planning and development of hardware and software, we can ensure early and efficient verification while being able to quickly manage and evaluate any delays.

Are you in Systems Engineering, new to the field (1-2 years), and looking to get that extra jump start to your career? Read below for a tip many overlook - plus an extra pro-tip! Want to get picked for the "cool" projects? Line up a lead systems engineering role a few years down the line, or even move into engineering leadership (management)? Then something you can do as a new Systems Engineer is to focus on helping be the solution to the issues facing management. These are often related to scope, cost and schedule - but not always. In the past, I spent extra time on presentations we were giving to customers. While not my "day job", management really wanted these interactions to go well. Recently I was working in a systems team - and we had some difficulty developing some requirements. GREAT! I'm super at writing requirements from needs statements, CONOPS, and early rough drafts. HOWEVER that was not the problem management wanted me to solve. They wanted to solve the problem of the line engineers being too busy to meet consistently enough to develop the requirements themselves. This for me, was not an authorship task - but a herding-cats task. I then when on and facilitated about a year's worth of meetings, with 1-2 per week, walking through requirements, sequence diagrams, even a few use cases. At the end, the right artifacts were developed - specifications, diagrams, process flows - BY THE RIGHT PEOPLE management wanted to work this task. In short, leadership was very happy with my work - and it even led to a promotion! More importantly I became known as being able to solve a teaming and people problem not just a requirement problem. This in turn helped me get my current engineering spot on a highly-visible program with a tight deadline and a lot of technical content. If this is what you want also - getting the inside track for the key assignments in systems engineering by increasing the types of problems you can solve - then at least occasionally step into management's shoes and try to solve some of their problems. Extra pro-tip: do this, WITHOUT BEING ASKED FIRST! COMMENT BELOW, what you think. Has this worked for you? Is this something you are willing to try? #systemsengineering #management #engineeringleadership #softskills LinkedIN is where I post my new content: https://lnkd.in/gtc9RzQx
