Engineering–Production Alignment

- Ensure proposed solutions are compatible with:
- Assembly flows
- Integration sequences
- Cleanroom capacity and tooling
- Environmental test facilities (TVAC, vibration, EMC, shock)

- Promote Design-to-Cost, Design-for-Assembly (DFA), and Design-for-Test (DFT) principles during proposal definition.
- Support Make-or-Buy strategy definition.

Industrial & Cost Engineering

- Develop cost models for small satellite platforms (50–500 kg).
- Analyze recurring production costs and scalability scenarios.




- Assess integration complexity and associated labor/test effort.
- Monitor margin drivers and industrial constraints.

Customer & Stakeholder Interface

- Participate in technical discussions with institutional and commercial customers.
