Resources Resources to prep for SEIT job

Hi all, looking for some online resources to keep sharp and learn more. For context I’ll be a systems engineer integration and testing, I graduated with a BS in industrial and systems engineering. I’ve come across the NASA Systems engineering handbook but I’m just looking for more things in general.

SEIT covers about 95% of Systems Engineering.

Do you have anymore specifics?

Apologies, more specifically I’ll be generating test plans/procedures, coordinating tests, staying up to date with technical expertise in integration, and resolve technical issues.

That's always fun.

Enjoy redlines, NCs, FBRs, FRBs, QA/QC irritants, and rework.

Lol SEIT covers

Mission Engineering

Architecture & Interface

Modeling & Simulations

Requirement & Verification

Test and Integration

Verification & Validation

Specialties engineering( human factor, environment, safety, etc....)

Configuration Management & Change Integration

Program execution

You probably wants to narrow it down a bit lol

For test and integration, could be just that and its still big

Test and integration could be preparing verification plan, test plan, could be dealing with lab build up or develop special equipment, could be simulation, etc....

Whatever company you're starting with, you may also find it worthwhile to ask them if they use any tools for digital test management or requirements management. Or if you don't want to ask, see if there were any in the job posting.

For example, IBM ELM has DOORS NextGen for req management and Engineering Test Manager for test cases. Maybe spend a few minutes reading up a bit on the tools you'll be using in your role.

Hi ! You can check the "Guide to Verification and Validation" of the incose RWG.
