IT Technical SME

The Opportunity
The systems that move intelligence forward do not run themselves. Behind every enterprise capability our customers depend on is a DevOps team that builds it, ships it, keeps it running, and modernizes it before the mission demands it.

• Collaborate with DTE stakeholders to coordinate requirements, lead research and analysis of technical issues across the environment, and update the five year Technical Refresh for the DTE COE
• Lead Technical Review Boards, Engineering Review Boards, and Program Management Reviews, evaluate engineering change proposals, and track the progress of system upgrades and maintenance while keeping system and organizational documentation current
• Translate mission requirements into technical direction, develop IC level responses that close out government taskers, and carry lessons learned across projects so the next effort starts smarter than the last
