  • Plan and implement APPA Systems Engineering Technical Review (SETR) documents. Create scalable solutions for multi-level security enterprise networks and cloud-based databases that aggregate mission data.
  • Assist in the integration of systems to effectively harvest, ingest, and store data from live, virtual, and constructive entities, ensuring reliable performance assessments and high-confidence data ingestion.
