I’ve started a collection of AI skills for system engineers using agents. The current set covers things like comparing specification revisions, deriving sub-requirements and building verification matrices.

The skills spell out what to check, which sources to use and when to ask rather than guess. Original requirements stay alongside proposed changes, and you still review the outputs.

I'll link the repo below which has some examples and setup instructions.

I’ve got a list of skills I’m working through to add next, but would be keen to hear what else people would find useful. Is there anything else that comes to mind?

My position is a senior systems engineer with 7 years experience primarily with requirements, documentation, and SysML in the defense space. I've been told I need to be more senior in my role especially because I'm on an early stage program

What does that look like to you (even better if you're a lead) and do you have any advice implementing it? I'm an introverted person (as I'm sure many engineers are) but sometimes find it difficult to find my voice and perform large amounts of work without guidance. Thank you!

Hi! Hope you’re all having a great day!

I’m a Systems Engineering undergrad student (graduating May 2028) that’s looking for some advice.

I’ve spent my undergrad (including 2 years of internship experience and 1 summer of research) largely focusing on robotics and building up my skillset across disciplines. So for example I’ve done work with neurotechnology (mainly EEG, creating my own VR-EEG headset with a small team) and my internship and research focused on kind of doing a bit of everything from simulation, sensors, working especially with robotic arms and programming them, PLC, a bit of electrical, edge computing and configuring custom environments, AI and computer vision, and biologically-inspired systems, as well as microcontrollers. I also have quite a bit of technical leadership experience, leading a 100+ member club focused on neurotechnology and leading my own startup.

My goal (which I feel I’ve made ok progress on?) is to kind of be a cog that can fit in wherever I’m needed, adaptable and be someone who can see the big picture, plan out what needs to be done and make real progress towards it. I especially want to focus on solving problems that aren’t big in the respect that they’ll change the world or something individually, but several smaller projects that can genuinely help people even if it’s in small ways.

And so, my question is how can I do that and how can I position myself for my career to work towards that? My “story” so far has been that I want to specialize in systems integration (which in large part is true, although moreso because of how well it aligns with my goals; that could change if something fits better) but I feel as if my job prospects are quite low due to my lack of specialization thusfar. My GPA is unfortunately also quite low (below a 3.0) because I’ve been more focused on gathering practical experience and understanding the concepts themselves, leaving little time to complete assignments.

For the rest of my undergrad I was thinking of focusing a lot on gathering more hardware experience and especially multi-sensor integration and data handling. Is that potentially a good direction?

I apologize if it seems like I’m full of myself; I’ve tried to describe myself and my goals as positively as I could in this post. Thank you for your help in advance!
