• Serve as the primary liaison between Government stakeholders, vendors, and development teams to ensure requirements are accurately captured, communicated, traceable, and verifiable throughout the program lifecycle

• Evaluate and validate platform capabilities including data onboarding, interoperability, cross-platform data exchange, and UI/UX performance against established requirements and end-user needs

• Support development and validation of tactical edge configurations, ensuring requirements account for operations in DDIL environments including 72-hour autonomous operations and network synchronization

• Participate in product demonstrations, design reviews, and agile development cycles, providing rapid assessment of solution compliance against documented requirements

• Maintain and manage a comprehensive requirements traceability matrix, ensuring all requirements are tracked from inception through testing, validation, and delivery
