  • Support ground qualification processes, including environmental, mechanical, safety, and platform‑specific certification.
  • Collaborate with government stakeholders, contractors, suppliers, and partner organizations, including evaluating proposals and monitoring supplier performance.
  • Lead quarterly stakeholder engagements, at the O-5 level, to provide status of the LEDGR and ensure alignment with dependent products and systems.
  • Prepare and deliver detailed technical briefings and written reports to PM leadership and senior Army stakeholders for each assigned project.
  • Ensure program plans, milestones, and performance metrics are achieved across cost, schedule, and technical areas.
  • Must be able to commit to job related travel less than 25%
