• Oversee and coordinate organizational training with internal and external providers. Create training plans/syllabi. Create and deliver training modules as needed.
• Lead technical tasks as directed and collaborate across multi-organizational teams.
• Assist Deputy Chief Engineer in leveraging digital engineering tools, Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) practices, and emerging Artificial Intelligence (AI) workflows to accelerate test and evaluation deliverables and modernize analytical processes.
• Mentor junior and mid-level engineers, promoting best practices in digital artifact management and rigorous technical analysis.
• Provide technical inputs and analytical data to support the evolution of DoW instructions, guidelines, and emerging policies related to acquisition and T&E.
• Evaluate cutting-edge commercial and defense technologies, discerning key requirements, test cases, and verification and validation (V&V) strategies for advanced prototypes and operational capabilities.
• Support assessment teams and action officers as needed in designing and executing technical evaluations, synthesizing data, and preparing high-impact technical reports and executive summaries for leadership briefings.

Qualifications

• Active Top Secret / Sensitive Compartmented Information (TS/SCI) clearance required.
• BS in Systems Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science, Aerospace Engineering, or a related STEM discipline with 6+ years of professional experience; MS highly desired.
• Practical familiarity with digital engineering ecosystems (e.g., SysML, MBSE environments, data architectures) and the application of AI/data-science tools to engineering workflows.
• Demonstrated hands-on experience in DoW systems engineering, acquisition lifecycle processes, or DT&E/OT&E environments to include experience evaluating technical documentation (TEMPs, SEPs, etc.).
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with experience developing briefings and technical reports for technical leads and government decision-makers.
• Familiarity with DoDI 5000.89, DoDI 5000.88, and the Defense Technical Risk Assessment Manual (DTRAM).
• Familiarity with International Council of Systems Engineering (INCOSE); not required but extra credit for INCOSE certification (CSEP, ESEP).
