  • Shape solutions across M&ES capability areas, including lifecycle sustainment; systems engineering and software modernization; operations, planning, training, and readiness; intelligence analysis and operations; and UXS/C-UXS employment and integration.
  • Lead solution development for intelligence, cyber, systems engineering, and mission operations opportunities, using SMEs to add depth while retaining ownership of the integrated approach.
  • Develop scorable strengths, discriminators, proof points, storyboards, graphics concepts, white papers, technical volume outlines, and persuasive technical narratives.
  • Serve as a technical volume lead or major contributor, including writing, rewriting, one-voicing, page-count management, and alignment to the approved solution.
  • Facilitate solutioning sessions with Capture, BD, pricing, proposal, operations, SMEs, and partners; resolve technical or operational gaps.
  • Brief recommendations to senior leaders and defend the solution through gate, color-team, and executive reviews.
  • Build reusable mission threads, graphics, technical patterns, artifacts, and lessons learned for future pursuits.

  • Experience creating solution artifacts such as CONOPS, mission workflows, system views, technical approaches, staffing and transition approaches, risk mitigations, graphics, white papers, or technical volume content.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to brief senior leaders and write clear, persuasive proposal content.
  • Ability to work across Capture, BD, proposal, pricing, operations, technical SMEs, subcontractors, and executive stakeholders under tight deadlines.
  • Demonstrated experience in at least two of the following: intelligence analysis or operations; systems or mission engineering; offensive or defensive cyber and cyber mission operations; mission operations support; UXS/C-UXS, ISR platforms, autonomy, or emerging mission systems; or federal capture, proposal, acquisition, capability development, or solution development.
