This includes developing the VV&A Plan and schedule to align with program objectives and test timelines and coordinating between organizations (V&V agent, Accreditation Agent) to meet Accreditation objectives.
Drive the integration strategy to connect the government's MBSE model with the contractor's M&S model. You will ensure a seamless data exchange exists, enabling the use of simulation to validate system requirements and predict performance.

Chair the SW Change Control Board (CCB) to adjudicate and approve all changes to the accepted SW baseline and ensure all SW Trouble Reports (STRs) are rapidly triaged, prioritized, and corrected.
Coordinate with US Army stakeholders on Software Material Release (SMR) to support fielding schedule and ensure timely delivery and quality of all SW documentations (SW Requirements Spec, SW Design Documentation, Test Reports, SW Roadmap).
Act as the government's lead for ensuring a complete and usable Technical Data Package (TDP) is delivered and verify that all SW and digital components (source code, build scripts, digital models, and documentation)- are present and sufficient for future organic government sustainment.
Work with contracting officer to validate SW and model data rights assertions, ensuring the government secures all necessary Government Purpose Rights (GPR) as defined in the OTA.
Basic Qualifications
