Contribute to the Sales Capture Gate Process and support preparation of RFI/RFP responses.
Lead or support the design and execution of complex demonstrations, including demo planning, customer engagement, and technical oversight.
Collaborate with Product and Systems Engineering teams to translate requirements into solutions and architectures.

Preferred Additional Skills
Strong tactical IP networking skills.
Minimum 3 years of systems engineering experience in the defense industry or military service.
