- Configure, customize, and optimize the platform for daily operations, including engineering custom dashboards and workflows, defining operational battlespaces, and administering role-based access permissions
- Provide forward-deployed technical troubleshooting and operational support to isolate platform anomalies, reproduce edge cases, and expedite resolution with core engineering teams
- Establish, track, and analyze user adoption and customer satisfaction metrics to identify operational trends and inform engineering roadmap priorities
- Author technical documentation, deployment runbooks, and operator quick-reference guides tailored for tactical and strategic users
- Brief and demonstrate capabilities, system upgrades, and proof-of-concept solutions to senior military leadership, DoD program offices, and mission partners
