## Description

* Guide systems engineering efforts focused on tactical communications systems, including waveform performance analysis, network architecture design, link budget assessments, and system-of-systems integration.
 * Assess, develop, and validate communications architectures supporting fighter aircraft, advanced platforms, autonomous systems, and mission networking environments.
 * Evaluate tactical datalinks such as Link-16, MADL, advanced waveforms, secure voice/data systems, and emerging tactical networking standards.
 * Conduct engineering assessments of communications resilience, including anti-jam (AJ), LPI/LPD techniques, encryption, spectrum considerations, and contested-environment performance.
 * Translate operational mission needs into communications system requirements, interface definitions, integration strategies, and acquisition documentation.
 * Review contractor technical artifacts, interface documents, integration plans, and communication subsystem designs for feasibility, interoperability, and mission alignment.
 * Prepare and deliver high-level technical briefings for senior acquisition leadership, summarizing performance trade-offs, risk assessments, and architectural recommendations.
 * Facilitate and coordinate cross-functional teams to execute communications engineering reviews, test planning, and milestone activities.
 * Support engineering activities across multiple security levels, including classified communications architectures and secure network environments.
 * Assist with translating multi-platform operational partner needs into common engineering requirements, integration strategies, and acquisition documentation.
 * Prepare and deliver executive-level briefs to senior DoD decision-makers, summarizing technical risks, design trade-offs, and international impacts.
 * Coordinate with U.S. and allied engineering organizations to ensure interoperability, data exchange, configuration alignment, and common architecture frameworks.
 * Support classified and multi-level engineering environments, performing analyses across mission, system, and subsystem levels.
