Build and mentor a high-performance team by fostering professional growth, offering technical guidance, and promoting an innovative and collaborative work environment.
Ensure technical readiness of team members through training on MBSE methodologies, requirements traceability, tools utilization (e.g., Cameo, DOORS), and classified environments.

Strategic Contribution:

Engage in strategic planning with the Sentinel Program Office to optimize systems engineering contributions and streamline acquisition processes.
Identify and communicate technical risks, propose mitigation approaches, and ensure readiness to meet Critical Program Information (CPI) compliance requirements.
