Successfully developing and launching the International X-ray Observatory in a cost constrained environment will require a close partnership between scientists and engineers in academia, government and industry. We outline a development approach based on our experience of building the Chandra observatory that enables breakthrough scientific capability while maintaining credible commitment to tight cost constraints. Our approach further preserves flexibility in a changing funding environment and responsiveness to new technologies.We begin with a frame work for the system engineering process and argue that including science goals in the trade space is critical in achieving the best science performance. In this frame work, scientists work side by side with engineers throughout the development optimizing the science return within the project constraints and technical feasibility. From the perspective of the builders of the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory, Chandra and the James Webb Spaces Telescope, we summarize our progress towards a robust yet flexible development model that will allow the International X-ray Observatory to move successfully from detailed concept studies to in orbit science operation.
