Provide forward-deployed technical troubleshooting and operational support to isolate platform anomalies, reproduce edge cases, and expedite resolution with core engineering teams
Establish, track, and analyze user adoption and customer satisfaction metrics to identify operational trends and inform engineering roadmap priorities
Author technical documentation, deployment runbooks, and operator quick-reference guides tailored for tactical and strategic users
Brief and demonstrate capabilities, system upgrades, and proof-of-concept solutions to senior military leadership, DoD program offices, and mission partners
