  • Fielding, Integration & Configuration Management
    • Support new system fielding, platform integration, and acceptance testing activities.
    • Validate configurations, load software and firmware updates, and confirm system operation post-maintenance or modification.
    • Maintain configuration control and documentation for all assigned systems.
  • Customer Interface & Reporting
    • Provide technical briefings, status updates, and recommendations to military leadership and program stakeholders.
    • Capture, track, and report system performance, failures, maintenance actions, and trends using government and SAIC reporting tools.
    • Contribute to root cause analyses and corrective action plans for recurring issues.
  • Training & Documentation
    • Plan and conduct operator and maintainer training for unit personnel, including new equipment training (NET), sustainment training, and on-the-job instruction.
    • Develop or refine training materials, checklists, quick-reference guides, and standard operating procedures (SOPs).
    • Provide feedback to engineering and logistics teams to improve manuals, troubleshooting guides, and technical data.
  • Safety, Compliance & Quality
    • Ensure all activities are performed in accordance with Army regulations, safety standards, and site policies.
    • Enforce adherence to quality, security, and export control requirements throughout maintenance and support operations.
    • Identify and implement process improvements to enhance reliability, maintainability, and supportability of the M-SHORAD system.
