Technology Evaluation & Assessment Lead

Command Post Technologies, Inc.•Orlando, FL

22h

About The Position

The Technology Evaluation & Assessment Lead is a full-time position supporting Command Post Technologies' development, integration, operation, and continuous evolution of the Multi-Domain Operations (MDO) Pilot Site at Camp Shelby, Mississippi, and distributed environments. The role provides analytical, technical, operational, and programmatic support to the MDO leadership team and serves as lead evaluator for emerging technologies, mission command systems, and system-of-systems capabilities. The position plans, executes, and assesses technology integration events, interoperability evaluations, operational demonstrations, and capability assessments. It translates operational needs into measurable objectives, develops evaluation methodologies, assesses emerging capabilities, and supports priority initiatives. The role objectively evaluates system performance, identifies technical and operational gaps, assesses interoperability, and provides evidence-based recommendations for capability development, modernization, and acquisition decisions. The role evaluates systems both individually and as part of a larger operational architecture, including mission command and intelligence systems, tactical networks, sensors, communications systems, electromagnetic spectrum capabilities, and emerging technologies across air, land, maritime, cyber, space, and electromagnetic spectrum operations. It combines operational assessment methodologies, test and evaluation principles, data analytics, and decision-support functions. Its primary focus is assessing technology performance, interoperability, and operational effectiveness, rather than training, fielding, or instruction.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree and three (3) years of relevant experience in technology evaluation, operational assessment, systems engineering, test and evaluation, capability development, military experimentation, technology integration, or related technical fields; OR an equivalent combination of education, military experience, and professional experience.
Experience planning, executing, or supporting system testing, technology evaluations, operational assessments, interoperability assessments, or verification and validation activities.
Experience developing assessment plans, evaluation criteria, performance metrics, and data collection methodologies, and analyzing technical and operational data to evaluate system performance, interoperability, and mission effectiveness.
Knowledge of test and evaluation processes, operational assessment methodologies, and data-driven decision-making, with the ability to develop objective findings, conclusions, and recommendations.
Familiarity with analytical, visualization, and reporting tools such as Power BI, Tableau, Python, Microsoft Power Platform, or similar technologies.
Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to prepare executive-level briefings and assessment reports.
Ability to adapt to changing priorities and operate effectively in a dynamic and evolving environment.
Must have an active Secret security clearance.

Responsibilities

Plan, execute, and evaluate technology integration events, interoperability assessments, operational demonstrations, and capability evaluations to determine system performance, suitability, operational effectiveness, and mission utility.
Develop assessment plans, evaluation criteria, Measures of Performance (MOPs), Measures of Effectiveness (MOEs), success metrics, and data collection methodologies.
Develop operational scenarios, evaluation objectives, and assessment frameworks to validate requirements, stress system capabilities, evaluate interoperability, and identify performance limitations in operationally relevant conditions.
Coordinate assessment activities with operators, engineers, developers, vendors, government stakeholders, and mission partners.
Support rapid prototyping, experimentation, and iterative capability development through continuous assessment and performance evaluation.
Evaluate system interoperability, data exchange, network performance, mission command integration, and information flow across military, government, commercial, and emerging technology systems.
Analyze technical and operational data to assess system performance, identify capability gaps, determine root causes of deficiencies, evaluate mission impacts, and develop recommendations.
Assess systems individually and as part of a larger system-of-systems architecture to determine operational effectiveness and integration readiness.
Collect, analyze, and integrate data from multiple sources to support objective performance assessments and evidence-based decisions.
Validate system performance against operational objectives, user requirements, and intended mission outcomes.
Support verification, validation, and operational utility assessments for technologies progressing toward operational employment.
Prepare formal assessment reports, findings, observations, after-action reviews, executive briefings, and other products documenting system performance, interoperability, operational effectiveness, and mission utility.
Document capability gaps, technical risks, lessons learned, and recommendations for improvement and future investment.
Provide objective assessment results and performance analysis to support technology transition, acquisition, modernization, and investment decisions.
Support senior leaders with data-driven recommendations and decision-support products related to MDO capabilities and technology development.
Support development of assessment roadmaps, event objectives, and evaluation strategies aligned with MDO modernization priorities.
Track assessment findings, risks, issues, and recommendations to support continuous capability improvement.
