Specialty engineering (glossary) includes those disciplines that support the development process for a product, service, or enterprise endeavor by applying crosscutting knowledge to system design decisions in order to balance total system performance and affordability.

The systems engineering team must ensure that specialty requirements are properly reviewed with regard to their impact on life cycle costs, development schedule, technical performance, and operational utility. For example, security requirements can impact operator workstations, EMI requirements can impact the signal in the interfaces between subsystems, and mass-volume requirements may preclude use of certain materials to reduce subsystem weight.

Engineering specialists audit the evolving design and resulting configuration items to ensure that the overall system performance also satisfies the specialty requirements. Including appropriate specialty engineers within each systems engineering team assures that all system requirements are identified and balanced throughout the development cycle.
