Senior SETA

The Sr SETA is expected to review the designs and technical approaches to assist the customer with technical assessments on the viability and suitability of the design approaches. The engineer is expected to utilize systems engineering skills to support customer-integrated, deployable systems and internal processes. They will also be expected to provide recommendations to improve the probability of success.
