System Level Design 

System level design is the organization of the functional elements of the product into logical and physical blocks.

The product's architecture begins to emerge during concept development.  This happens informally in the sketches, function diagrams, and proof of concept prototypes of the concept development phase.  The architectural decisions now must be formalized after the final product concept has been selected, but before detailed design begins.  This occurs during the system level stage of development.​
