The specialist maintains virtual machine baselines; documents procedures, test plans, checklists, and release validation reports; and coordinates patch impacts, anomalies, and test results with joint-service teams and external program offices. The role also assists with curriculum development for current, follow-on, and future C2 and targeting applications, and provides classroom, virtual, and over-the-shoulder instruction to students with varying experience levels.

Responsibilities

• Plan, schedule, and execute structured test procedures to validate software patches, hotfixes, and cumulative system updates across virtual machine baselines before operational release.
• Conduct functional regression testing across core software components to ensure updates do not disrupt system services, performance, or inter-system communications.

• Validate post-patching system security posture, remediation effectiveness, and baseline stability; coordinate defect tracking in Jira or equivalent systems.
