- Coordinate across government, contractor, and laboratory stakeholders to resolve technical issues and improve cross-system interoperability.
- Assist in the development of CONOPS, architecture products, interface definitions, and engineering documentation.
- Identify technical risks, integration gaps, and lifecycle challenges affecting current and future range capabilities.
- Support long-term modernization planning through structured engineering analysis and recommendations.
Required Qualifications:
