Abstract
AbstractIn many industries, remote work is becoming increasingly common. The global COVID‐19 pandemic has accelerated this shift, which poses a particular challenge to aerospace systems engineers (ASEs). ASE work is complex, consisting of a number of tasks that are traditionally largely conducted in‐person. Little literature exists to establish a basic understanding of remote work in the context of aerospace systems engineering development projects.This paper presents the results of an interview study, where hypotheses are explored to provide initial understanding of remote work in this context, and to motivate future studies. Analysis revealed: Design reviews experienced both challenges and benefits; Remote work has complicated collaborative work with artifacts; Assembly, Integration and Testing activities experienced significant challenges; Solutions have been thought of or implemented by ASEs, in particular the use of Slack and strategies managers may use to support their team members. Several additional research questions are motivated.
