Review and provide technical recommendations on the full set of contractor-developed system and subsystem requirements, ensuring they are clear, verifiable, and properly allocated and traced.

Manage the Government's oversight of the deficiency reporting process. Track and report on the status of all identified system deficiencies, ensuring they are properly documented, prioritized, and driven to resolution by the contractor.
Evaluate the overall system architecture, including external and internal interfaces, to ensure it is robust, scalable, and compliant with Modular Open System Architecture (MOSA) principles.
Monitor system integration activities, identify potential cross-domain (hardware, software, cybersecurity) integration risks, and provide the Government with risk mitigation strategies.
Provide continuous technical support and recommendations to the Government team throughout all phases of the acquisition lifecycle, including major technical reviews (e.g., SRR, PDR, CDR), configuration management, and system-level testing.
