- Develop and maintain integration artifacts, including OV-1s, SV-1s, SV-2s, data flow diagrams, interface diagrams, ICDs, and EICDs.
- Define and document external interfaces, data exchanges, ports, protocols, services (PPS), and integration dependencies.
- Assess connectivity requirements, UCI message exchange requirements, and operational impacts of new integrations.
- Facilitate external participation in technical reviews, working groups, architecture discussions, and governance activities.
- Coordinate with infrastructure and cyber teams to ensure integrations are prepared for testing, exercises, demonstrations, and operational use.
- Support the development of model-based representations of interfaces and integrations as the program matures its digital engineering capabilities.
