• Analyze operational needs and develop, allocate, validate, and maintain system/subsystem requirements and traceability.
• Support system architectures, functional baselines, design alternatives, and technical trade studies.
• Develop and review Interface Control Documents (ICDs) and coordinate hardware, software, network, data, and subsystem interfaces.
• Support laboratory and field integration and resolve interface, performance, and compatibility issues.
• Define verification methods and acceptance criteria and support test plans, procedures, verification matrices, and reports.
• Participate in technical reviews including SRR, SFR, PDR, CDR, TRR, and production-readiness reviews.
• Identify and track technical risks, issues, assumptions, dependencies, root causes, and corrective actions.
• Evaluate Engineering Change Proposals, deviations, waivers, and design changes for impacts to requirements, interfaces, test, logistics, cybersecurity, production, and sustainment.
• Prepare specifications, engineering reports, technical assessments, briefings, decision papers, and related documentation.
• Support lifecycle activities involving reliability, maintainability, supportability, obsolescence, fielding, and sustainment.

• Ability to translate operational needs into technical requirements and engineering solutions.
• Experience preparing technical products such as specifications, ICDs, requirements documents, engineering reports, verification matrices, and test documentation.
• Experience identifying technical risks and developing mitigation or corrective-action recommendations.
• Strong analytical, technical-writing, briefing, collaboration, and problem-solving skills.
• Must be able to obtain and maintain a Top Secret/SCI security clearance. A minimum of an Interim Secret clearance is required to start work. 

Desired Qualifications:

• DoD, Navy, NAVSEA, NSWC Crane, Army product-manager, or comparable acquisition-program experience.
