- Facilitate collaboration among program offices, engineering teams, operational stakeholders, and industry partners to advance integrated RF capabilities across the portfolio.
- Interface directly with Materiel Leaders/Division Directors, Chief Engineers and other senior-level stakeholders to analyze program requirements and challenges.
- Propose technical solutions for integration into enterprise level analyses and planning processes.
- Develop executive briefings, acquisition strategies, and decision-support products that inform the directorate's Capability Trade Council (CTC) activities and senior leader decision-making.
- Evaluate emerging technologies, modernization initiatives, and architectural approaches to improve interoperability, agility, and mission effectiveness.
- Drive enterprise alignment by identifying cross-program dependencies and recommending actionable solutions that accelerate capability delivery to the warfighter.
