They engage with customers to understand their needs and translate these into clear engineering requirements, supporting delivery of the most appropriate solution. Integration Engineers are also involved in platform level engineering activities, bringing sub‑systems together to form an effective system of systems, and they influence a diverse and highly skilled community of engineers at all levels of the organisation to achieve successful outcomes.

• Use systems engineering techniques to define and develop a whole product architecture.
