• Conduct system and technical analyses supporting the development, verification, validation, and acceptance of weapon system requirements and readiness criteria.
• Enable operational organizations (e.g., mission units, Deltas, or equivalent) to accomplish assigned missions by facilitating HQ CFC support.
• Facilitate internal and external stakeholder engagements; prepare briefings, minutes, action trackers, and decision-support products for boards, working groups, and senior leader engagements.
• Provide rapid, high-quality responses to taskings and produce clear, professional written products in a high-tempo, collaborative environment.
• Support limited travel to customer events and coordination activities as required.
