## Description

Working directly with government personnel and technical teams, you will translate customer objectives into requirements, system architectures, and practical technical solutions. You will help define and evaluate test environments, assess interfaces and dependencies, identify integration challenges, and ensure proposed solutions support the intended mission. The work requires understanding how hardware, software, networks, and operational processes interact-and how those interactions affect the validity and usefulness of test results.

Responsibilities include reviewing technical requirements and designs, supporting integration and troubleshooting, evaluating technical tradeoffs, and developing clear documentation and recommendations. You will help teams resolve gaps and inconsistencies across complex systems and communicate technical findings in terms that support informed customer decisions.

We are looking for someone with strong technical fundamentals, sound engineering judgment, and the initiative to work through unfamiliar problems. Experience with cybersecurity, complex networks, virtualization, embedded systems, automation, or test and evaluation is valuable. Equally important are curiosity, the ability to learn new technologies quickly, and a demonstrated record of turning complex technical challenges into workable solutions.
