· Translate operational fleet training requirements into functional and technical system designs.

· Ensure compatibility and interoperability across applications, interfaces, data flows, and supporting infrastructure.

· Plan, coordinate, and execute full-lifecycle system integration, verification, and end-to-end validation procedures; maintain rigid configuration baselines across development, staging, and production networks.

· Architect, monitor, and troubleshoot secure cross-program data flows moving between core FTM data repositories, external legacy interfaces (such as FLTMPS), and authoritative fleet readiness dashboards (Tableau, Databricks, Qlik, and others).

· Support development and management of standard Risk Management Framework (RMF) artifacts, including Security Assessment Plans, Security Control Tracking Matrices (SCTM), Plan of Action and Milestones (POA&M), and continuous monitoring controls assessments.

· Rapidly diagnose and remediate Tier 3 complex technical failures spanning enterprise hardware networks, SAN storage, cluster virtualization layers, cloud platforms, and distributed application software.

· Conduct engineering analyses to maintain long-term system stability, scalability, and performance.

· Support upgrades, modernization initiatives, risk mitigation strategies, and configuration management activities.

· Identify system deficiencies and recommend corrective technical solutions supporting continuous improvement.

· Act as a liaison between functional stakeholders, developers, cybersecurity personnel, and Government customers.

· Communicate system capabilities, constraints, and impacts to both technical and operational audiences.

· Participate in engineering reviews, design walkthroughs, and requirements validation sessions.

· Support test planning and execution to validate functionality, performance, and security requirements.

· Maintain accurate system diagrams, interface specifications, engineering documents, and sustainment guides.
