Ensure each requirement is stated in a verifiable manner using appropriate language such as “shall.”

6

Define expected system behavior for:

Normal operation

Abnormal operation

Failure conditions

Loss of input data

Invalid data

Degraded modes

Power-up and initialization

Reversionary modes

Maintenance modes

DO-178C for software-related requirements allocation

DO-254 for airborne electronic hardware-related requirements allocation

DO-160 for environmental qualification considerations

DO-297, where IMA platform allocation is applicable

8

Support certification-oriented review of requirements to ensure:

Traceability

Verifiability

Completeness

Correctness

Design independence where required

Linkage to safety and compliance objectives

Ensure requirements are aligned with customer/OEM methodology and certification artifact expectations.

Support preparation and review of evidence required for certification audits and internal quality gates.

Participate in certification and quality reviews related to system requirements.

9

Use customer-designated requirements management tools such as:

IBM DOORS / DOORS Next

Polarion

Jama Connect

Siemens Teamcenter

PTC Integrity

Codebeamer

Enterprise Architect / Cameo, where applicable

Generate traceability reports, review packages, gap reports, and change impact summaries.

10

Should have hands-on working experience in at least one industry-standard requirements management tool and should understand how traceability is used during reviews, audits, verification planning, and change control.

11

Requirements Review, Validation, and Quality Support

Participate in requirements review meetings with customer/OEM teams, suppliers, and cross-functional engineering stakeholders.

Support validation of requirements against stakeholder needs and operational use cases.

Support review of requirements with:

System engineering teams

Safety teams

Software teams

Hardware teams

Integration and test teams

Certification representatives

Supplier engineering teams

Provide comments, dispositions, and technical justifications during peer reviews and formal reviews.

Support requirements baseline creation and change control activities.

Assist in defect resolution related to requirement ambiguity, interface mismatch, or verification failure

12

Should have experience with one or more of the following tools

Requirements Management Tools : IBM DOORS, DOORS Next Generation, Polarion, Jama Connect, Codebeamer, PTC Integrity, Teamcenter Requirements.

Architecture / Modeling Tools : Cameo Systems Modeler, MagicDraw, Enterprise Architect, Rhapsody, MATLAB / Simulink, where applicable.
