• Provide SME-level technical expertise throughout the planning, implementation, integration, testing, and troubleshooting lifecycle.
• Review existing systems and evaluate hardware, software, interfaces, configurations, and dependencies.
• Analyze system architectures and identify potential integration impacts, technical risks, and compatibility issues.
• Support the integration of hardware and software components into existing system environments.
• Troubleshoot complex system-level issues involving hardware, operating systems, applications, networks, interfaces, and supporting infrastructure.
• Identify root causes of technical and integration issues and develop recommendations for corrective actions.
• Assist with the installation, configuration, integration, and testing of hardware and software systems.
• Evaluate new and emerging technologies for potential integration into existing or future system architectures.
• Support technical demonstrations, proof-of-concept activities, prototypes, and experimental systems.
• Participate in system reviews and provide technical recommendations regarding system configuration, integration approaches, and implementation strategies.
• Review system documentation, architecture diagrams, interface documentation, configuration information, and technical procedures.
• Identify gaps or inconsistencies in system documentation and recommend updates.
• Develop and maintain technical documentation supporting system implementation, integration, configuration, and troubleshooting

• Demonstrated experience integrating complex hardware and software systems.
• Experience troubleshooting system-level hardware and software integration issues.
• Experience reviewing system architectures, configurations, interfaces, and technical documentation.
• Demonstrated ability to independently analyze technical problems and develop practical solutions.
• Experience supporting system implementation, integration, testing, and troubleshooting activities.
• Strong understanding of the interaction between hardware, software, operating systems, networks, and supporting infrastructure.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Ability and willingness to travel to support customer events, demonstrations, testing, and emergent requirements.
• Experience supporting Department of Defense (DoD) programs or mission-critical systems.
• Experience supporting emerging technology demonstrations, experimentation, prototypes, or technology transition activities.
• Bachelor's degree in Systems Engineering, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related technical discipline, or equivalent technical experience.
