“…Also, one role can be fulfilled by different people within the same project. (Gräßler et al 2019) In Systems Engineering research, different role models were published by various authors. The first role model for Systems Engineering was published by Sheard in 1996(Sheard 1996.…”

“…These twelve roles mark the starting point for adjustments and changes in Systems Engineering role models. The adjustments and changes to the existing models are performed and based on different aspects, as experience in industrial practice (Gräßler et al 2019) or emerging trends in Systems Engineering (Selig and Baltes 2017). The differences in roles are based on different allocations of tasks and competencies (Selig and Baltes 2017).…”

“…the previously published role set(Gräßler et al 2019) with regard to two roles, namely the Leader (in 2018) and Project Leader (in 2021). As in(Gräßler et al 2019), a bottom-up approach is taken by matching Systems Engineering competencies with the role model in industrial practice, the updated role model is chosen as a representative Systems Engineering role model for this publication. The 15 roles and a short description are given below:…”

Increasing system complexity can be controlled by using systems engineering processes. INCOSE defines processes with inputs and outputs (artifacts) for this purpose. Specific SE roles are used to organize the tasks of the processes within the company. In this work, the responsibilities for artifacts are evaluated by means of the RACI scheme and examined by a cluster analysis and discussed for a SE transformation project with a German automotive OEM. As a result of the study, the optimal composition for systems engineering teams is identified and the systems engineering roles are prioritized.

Systems Engineering is developing differently in each sector and region. In German industry, especially in mechanical and plant engineering, Systems Engineering is of major importance. The introduction of Systems Engineering raises the question of which roles and competencies are required. This article examines the evolution of roles in Systems Engineering from a German perspective. Based on a literature review, the evolution of the identified Systems Engineering roles over time is shown, starting with the seminal publication by Sheard in 1996. It points out that only minimal adjustments and occasional role renaming have occurred. However, the review shows a common understanding of essential areas of responsibility within the SE and changes over time. The next step is to examine the current understanding of Systems Engineering roles in the industry. A quantitative analysis of job postings in Germany reveals a diverse interpretation of the term 'Systems Engineer; more than half of the positions cannot be categorized according to the INCOSE definitions. The job postings are used to determine which tasks are associated with the job, how often they occur, and in what combination. The primary responsibilities of systems engineers include creating and managing requirements, architecture processes, validation, and verification processes, and coordinating with customers and stakeholders. Finally, three representative companies from the mechanical and plant engineering sector were selected to analyze existing roles and tasks. From this, a common understanding of tasks and responsibilities is combined and organized into clusters. These are used by the companies to locate and thus derive their roles. The result is in an integrative approach that enables companies, especially in the midsize and medium sectors, to design the introduction in line with stakeholder demands. In summary, the industry's ongoing adaptation necessitates the evolution of Systems Engineering roles and competencies for successful and sustainable development and implementation of systems.
