The technique of high-resolution spectroscopy in the far-ultraviolet spectral region, FUSE will be one of the most far-reaching scientific explorations of space to date. The FUSE instrument comprises many subsystems, each of which contributes in on essential way to the success of the mission. The instrument system engineer oversees the engineering of all elements in such a complex technical project. In performing system engineering for the FUSE instrument's command, telemetry, data processing and data storage functions, and in leading the engineering efforts for the development of the FUSE instrument on-board computer, the author has learned valuable lessons about the characteristics that are prerequisite to success for a space system engineer. The categories of know-how which fall into seven areas are described with illustrations drawn from the development of the FUSE instrument.
