- Define DT/OT entrance & exit gates, traceability matrices, and milestone metrics within the Integrated Master Schedule.
- Design lab architectures replicating platform power, data, and environmental interfaces; oversee daily ops, configuration control, and security accreditation.
- Implement automated regression suites (Python/Robot Framework, Jenkins, Ansible, IXIA/Spirent) covering functional, performance, and cyber-resilience tests.

- Proven leadership of large-scale DT/OT efforts for avionics, communications, or C2 systems.
- Hands-on with test automation frameworks, instrumentation, and data-analysis tools (MATLAB, Pandas, JMP, or similar).
- Familiarity with MIL-STD-810/461, RCC 324/125-15, or comparable environmental and EMI/EMC standards.
- Previous work on ABMS, CJADC2, OMS/UCI, or tactical data-link programs.
- Experience with Type-1 crypto, cross-domain solutions, and RMF/eMASS artifacts.
- Flight-test credentials (USAF TPS grad, FAA DER, or equivalent).
