The Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) will be a world-leading, DOE Office of Science national user facility for the study of nuclear structure, reactions, and astrophysics on the campus of Michigan State University (MSU). A superconducting driver linac will be used to provide stable heavy-ion beams of >200 MeV/u at beam powers up to 400 kW to a production target. The stable beams will be used to produce rare isotopes by in flight fragment separation. The MSU-led design and construction effort is supported by collaborations with many National Laboratories and other scientific institutions. Systems Engineering and Integration has been implemented at the outset to ensure that a requirements-driven design process is followed, and to ensure intra and inter-system compatibility. Top-level requirements have been allocated, and subsequently elaborated, between the Accelerator Systems, Experimental Systems, and Conventional Facilities. FRIB has developed a number of methods and tools to track requirements, establish interfaces, monitor design progress, and ensure overall system integration. These will be described in the paper.
