- Lead a small team of engineers through site standups from initial radar integration through operational acceptance, interfacing with strategic end-users throughout
- Monitor radar system performance, connectivity, integration with mesh networks, and fusion with other sensors (EO/IR, RF) and C2 systems at distributed sites and with partner organizations
- Gather, triage, and prioritize user feedback on radar detection performance, tracking accuracy, classification capabilities, issues, and errors found during fielding, testing, exercises, and normal operations
- Provide input to account and engineering teams on radar features, detection algorithms, and UI/UX improvements that enhance operator workflow efficiency
- Support engagement with other units, commands, and organizations for increased deployment and installation of radar systems across military installations, critical infrastructure sites, and forward operating locations
