Perform configuration management activities, maintaining the integrity of the engineering baseline and ensuring delivered hardware and software configurations are accurately tracked and documented
Author and update redline drawings, incorporating approved engineering changes and ensuring as-built configurations are accurately reflected
Develop and review Independent Logistics Assessment (ILA) documents to support fleet readiness and sustainment planning
Write clear and concise risk statements, identifying technical risks and recommending mitigation strategies to program leadership and government customers
Participate in and support Change Control Boards (CCBs), presenting engineering changes, responding to technical inquiries, and ensuring proper disposition of action items
Collaborate closely with Fleet Support Representatives to address fleet-identified issues, document discrepancies, and drive timely engineering resolutions
Ensure alignment between delivered systems and applicable system/subsystem specifications, identifying and resolving gaps or non-conformances
Support technical reviews, audits, and program milestones as required by the government customer
Coordinate with multi-disciplinary engineering teams, logistics personnel, and government stakeholders to support overall program objectives
