• Evaluate and integrate analytic modernization tools such as Thresher, FADE, Turbo, and other multi‑INT exploitation environments.
• Conduct system trade assessments, interface evaluations, and lifecycle performance analyses to inform enterprise‑level decisions.
• Apply systems analysis and operational mission modeling to define KPIs, measures of effectiveness, and architectural runway trade‑offs.
• Develop high‑quality briefings, technical documentation, and modernization roadmaps for Program and Project Manager engagements.
• Engage with users, stakeholders, and mission partners, collaborating with Landmark AOS engineers and domain experts to demonstrate and operationalize advanced processing and exploitation capabilities.

Qualifications

• Strong understanding of software architectures, spacecraft ground systems, and intelligence mission management workflows.
• Experience managing technical performance, schedules, interfaces, and risk.
• Background in secure cloud architectures (e.g., C2S, IC GovCloud) and Agile development.
