Assist in preparing systems for deployment, including configuration, packaging, testing, and troubleshooting.
Support LNIC's Validate Frame, contributing to systems-of-systems T&E and capability acceptance processes.
Work closely with operational users, capturing feedback and helping iterate system improvements.
Assist in managing C4ISR hosting environments within Test, Development, Integration, and Production domains.
Work collaboratively with ADF, APS, prime vendors, industry partners, and program teams.
Support cross-program integration activities, ensuring alignment with enterprise and tactical standards.
Engage constructively with capability managers, project offices, and technical authorities.
