• Chair Army Interoperability Certification (AIC) test incident review adjudications by coordinating issue resolution and engaging in Operational Capability Environment (OCE) resources as needed to support timely resolution.
• Proactively identify and mitigate interoperability issues across the portfolio to ensure systems are ready for fielding and minimize the need for HQDA intervention.
• Assess modernization initiatives to identify interoperability impacts and develop actionable mitigation strategies supporting Army modernization efforts.
• Manage portfolio reporting and executive communications by providing Army Interoperability Certification (AIC) updates to HQDA G-6 and leading recurring status briefings with ASA(ALT) and internal Integrated Product Teams (IPTs).
• Coordinate and represent Program Manager (PM) Test Agent activities in high-level working groups, Integrated Product Teams (IPTs), and cross-functional forums supporting Army interoperability and modernization initiatives.
• Collaborate with ASA(ALT) and external stakeholders to maintain current Army Interoperability Certification (AIC) processes, establish strategic partnerships, and promote best practices across PAE Fires.

• Bachelor’s degree in a related field or equivalent combination of education and relevant experience, as applicable.
• Demonstrated expertise in Army Interoperability Certification (AIC) policies with experience applying approved AIC policies, procedures, and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs).
• Proven experience supporting Test and Evaluation (T&E) Working Integrated Product Teams (WIPTs) with expertise in data collection, analysis, and software baseline management for complex systems.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to prepare executive-level memorandums and brief senior leadership, including PAE Fires, Assistant Secretary of the Army for Acquisition, Logistics and Technology (ASA(ALT)), and Headquarters, Department of the Army (HQDA).
• Strong leadership and conflict resolution skills with the ability to chair adjudication boards, build consensus among diverse stakeholders, and resolve complex technical and organizational challenges.

• Technical Leadership: Proven ability to chair incident review adjudications, mitigate portfolio risks, and perform rigorous quality assurance on test data packages.
• Executive Communication: Skilled at drafting executive memos, staffing via ETMS2, and briefing senior stakeholders (HQDA G-6, ASA(ALT)).
• Strategic Foresight: Ability to navigate modernization impacts (e.g., Operation Jailbreak) and drive process standardization.
