·  Participation to spacecraft system trade-offs : assessment of the performances and cost of the proposed architectures to support system trade-offs
·  Definition of the electrical harness constraints in collaboration with the project Harness architect
·  Participation to the equipment specifications, assessment of equipment non-conformity at system level (in analysis or test)
·  Contribution to the definition of electrical distribution and protections
·  Definition of electrical and functional synoptic

During Justify phase :

·  Contribution to system project reviews (PDR, CDR, TSR) in support to Project team, data pack preparation (design justification analyses)
·  Management of customer interface for the Electrical & Power activities in support to Project team : non conformities to customer specification justification, subsystems presentation during system reviews, customer training
