What is Systems Engineering?

Systems engineering is an organized methodology of approaching designs and technical operations for smooth functioning and retirement of a system. The emphasis is strongly on software, hardware, documents, and people. The idea is for systems engineering to be a holistic process that integrates various disciplines for seamless operation.

In other words, systems engineering can be considered the process of creating a platform for meeting requirements and expected standards in all circumstances. Systems engineering strives to identify the focus areas and channelize efforts to optimize the design wholesomely and homogenously. All components of the design are expected to work in tandem and deliver as a composite unit.

A systems engineer is primarily responsible for the technical efficiency of the system in place and its readiness to handle exigencies. Other facets of the engineer’s responsibility is to ensure that the engineering approach taken by the technical team adheres to mandates. Over a period, a systems engineer also evaluates the various aspects of the system and how it can be enhanced with changing needs of the organization. In short, the critical characteristic of systems engineering is to ensure a concept’s fruitful journey to becoming a product.
