- Must have prior active-duty experience supporting Global Strike Command (AFGSC), including experience supporting nuclear capabilities.
- 3+ years supporting C-UAS, ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance), RF, or defense communications systems.
- Proven ability to troubleshoot IP networking, RF spectrum monitoring, and sensor fusion architectures in austere or military environments.
- Familiarity with EO/IR imaging, radar systems, and Command-and-Control (C2) software.
- Comfortable working in dynamic, field-deployed settings supporting government and military customers.
- Strong technical documentation skills and the ability to translate complex technical concepts for non-technical operators.

- Diagnose and resolve hardware, software, and RF communication issues. You will manage the intersection of Linux/Windows environments, IP networking, and hardened field hardware.
- Conduct preventive maintenance, system health checks, and critical firmware/software updates to ensure 100% mission uptime.
- Assist with site surveys and communications architecture to optimize sensor coverage and minimize "digital exhaust" in contested environments.
