Program Manager – Senior 20+ yrs experience in this field Under indirect supervision, oversees the operational planning, establishment, evaluation, and execution of cost, schedule, and performance of a multifaceted program/project typically consisting of a set of closely related subprograms or associated activities. Oversees fiscal, operational, administrative, and human resources management of the program; seeks and develops outside funding sources, serves as principal point of representation and liaison with external constituencies on operational matters, and provides day‐to‐day technical/professional guidance and leadership as appropriate to the area of expertise.

Logistician – Journeyman 5 - 10 yrs experience in this field Under general supervision, provides high‐level consultation support to task personnel involved in performing tasking associated with logistics engineering, analytical, or acquisition projects. Provides guidance on the preparation of integrated logistic plans and policies and procedures for logistic support for major systems. Ensures that proper logistics considerations are included in system development processes at each major milestone. Performs analyses to determine system maintainability, reliability, and supportability requirements. Documents results of the analysis in a report format. Develops systems maintenance concepts and plans and life‐cycle supply requirements and processes to meet supply requirements. Performs cost analyses associated with systems logistic support and develops and reviews systems acquisition projects' operating plans and procedures to ensure logistic support considerations are included. Performs technical training, configuration management, and quality assurance.

Systems Engineer – Specialist 10 to 15 yrs experience in this field Under general supervision, performs high‐level systems analysis, evaluation, design, integration, documentation, and implementation of very complex application that require a thorough knowledge of administrative and technical skills. Directs and participates in all phases of system development with emphasis on planning, analysis, evaluation, integration, testing and acceptance phases. Applies higher‐ level business or technical principles and methods to very difficult technical problems to arrive at automated engineering solution
