• Supporting system design, analysis, testing, optimisation and integration activities.
• Building virtual models of systems and subsystems.
• Using tools and software (e.g. Enterprise Architect, Matlab, Simulink, JIRA) to support activities at different stages of a system’s life cycle.
• Supporting modelling and simulation activities.
• Supporting system validation and verification activities (Did we build the right system and did we build it in the right way?).
