SUMMARY. Company XYZ is going to build a jet plane with new technology. The role of a systems engineer is an indispensable and key contribution to the successful development of a new system. From the start of the new system's life cycle, a systems engineer would confirm the success of the new system. A description of the role of a systems engineer is outlined below. INTRODUCTION Systems engineering is a logical systems approach carried out by multidisciplinary teams to design and integrate systems to ensure that products meet customer needs. According to the dictionary, a role is the expected behavior associated with a particular position or status in a group or organization. It is also described as a proper or habitual function or responsibility. As systems engineering continues to evolve due to the complexity of systems, the role of a systems engineer has become more essential today. Establishing the roles and responsibilities of the systems engineer is critical to the success of the new airliner. [Sage 2009] describes that changing needs and new technologies offer different alternatives and opportunities. “The most visible factor that distinguishes major changes that succeed from those that fail is competent leadership. » [Kotter & Heskett 1992] Interdisciplinary leadership will make the airliner a reality with new technology. SKILLS OF A SYSTEMS ENGINEER Engineers explore requirements and interfaces to design a system or subsystem, but not all engineers should be included as systems engineers. There has been much debate about the roles of a systems engineer, as companies have assigned systems engineering products to software, electrical or otherwise...... middle of paper ...... technological advances in existing and new torpedo systems. CONCLUSIONIt is when eventualities such as new technology for a jet plane occur that systems engineers are most indispensable. These are personnel equipped to bring together the breadth of knowledge and experience necessary to guide efforts to meet customer needs. While writing this article, I realized the importance of applying my skills and knowledge to exemplary engineering performance. Works Cited Kossiakoff, Alexander; Sweet, William N.
