Boundary Management: Manage complex, inter-contractor technical boundaries to resolve disputes, clarify delivery responsibilities, and align GFE hardware/software inputs with the overall system-of-systems architecture. GFE/GFI Pipeline: Support the technical validation, tracking, and physical/logical integration of GFE and GFI into the primary test and integration beds. Technical SME Leadership Oversee system-of-systems engineering activities, managing the migration and integration of legacy submarine hardware/software capabilities with modern Platform-as-a-Service architectures. Define and maintain high-level systems requirements, Interface Control Documents, and verification plans in full compliance with NAVSEA systems engineering procedures. Stakeholder Program Management Serve as a primary, direct technical interface to senior NUWC Division Newport management, Navy program offices, and subcontractor leadership. Utilize Agile program management methodologies to manage iterative integration milestones, risks, and program increments in a dynamic, fast-paced defense environment.
