• Develop and maintain solution-level integration roadmaps, schedules, dependencies, risks, decision points, entrance and exit criteria, and transition actions to provide clear visibility of each capability’s progress toward operational use.
• Coordinate technical assessments, demonstrations, test activities, cybersecurity requirements, interface definition, data integration, and operational evaluations to determine solution readiness and integration feasibility.
• Collaborate with Program Managers, Contracting Officers, System Engineers, software teams, commercial vendors, operators, and external stakeholders to resolve integration issues and ensure transition objectives are met within schedule, technical, and budget constraints.
• Support transition planning between CSO efforts and receiving programs, including identification of required architecture changes, interfaces, infrastructure, accreditation, sustainment, contracting, funding, and production considerations.
• Provide acquisition and program integration support for follow-on actions required to move successful CSO capabilities into production, including acquisition strategies, Statements of Work (SOWs), technical evaluations, cost estimates, transition agreements, and other supporting documentation.
• Use agile program management and collaboration tools (e.g., Jira and Confluence) to maintain traceability of requirements, actions, risks, dependencies, test results, and transition status across multiple commercial solutions and receiving programs.
