  • Leverage Linux diagnostics, log analysis, and command-line tooling to drive resolution and deploy cutting edge software solutions
  • Partner with engineering and product teams to continuously enhance fleet-wide monitoring, alerting, and health telemetry for EW assets
  • Aggregate and interpret field performance data to identify failure patterns, inform preventive maintenance strategies, and guide engineering investment decisions
  • Serve as a trusted point of contact for customers, managing technical issues with clear communication, defined timelines, and follow-through from identification to closure
  • Translate operational feedback and mission requirements into actionable input for product development, advocating for capability improvements grounded in real-world employment
  • Develop and maintain deep technical fluency across the EW product portfolio, enabling effective communication between operators, engineers, and program stakeholders
  • Orchestrate cross-functional responses to complex sustainment challenges, aligning business operations, engineering, and field support teams to optimize system availability
  • Provide structured mission insights and deployment lessons-learned to software and hardware engineering teams, shaping roadmap priorities and informing design decisions
  • Travel to field sites, if desired and opportunities arise – not required
