By owning the Verification & Validation (V&V) process, you will ensure end-to-end requirement traceability while shielding the development team from scope creep through rigorous backlog orchestration. Additionally, you will monitor CI/CD and Kubernetes deployment health to translate technical performance into clear operational readiness reports for program stakeholders.

• Familiarity with satellite C2, ground station operations, or geospatial visualization (e.g., CesiumJS or STK).
• Expert-level proficiency in GitLab for issue tracking, milestone management, and boards (or equivalent experience in Jira/ADO).
