• Maintain documentation for system interfaces, requirements, operational procedures, and engineering baselines.
• Collaborate with operators and cross-functional teams to ensure system behaviors align with mission needs.

Qualifications:

• Strong analytical, troubleshooting, documentation, and communication skills.

Desired:

• Experience supporting mission-critical operations or legacy programs such as OPS.

• Familiarity with distributed systems, automation frameworks, or cloud-hosted environments.
