· Prepare and review engineering diagrams, configurations, bills of material, implementation plans, test plans and results, change requests, operating procedures, and lifecycle/configuration records.
· Research and evaluate emerging voice, data, video, RF, satellite, hardware, and software technologies; support demonstrations, pilots, analyses of alternatives, white papers, technical briefings, and recommendations.
· Support DHS enterprise-architecture compliance, including alignment with DHS EA policies, Technical Reference Model standards and products, and IPv6 requirements.
· Support off-site surveys, installations, de-installations, exercises, testing, training, or restoration at Mount Weather, FEMA regions, State EOCs, U.S. territories, and other directed locations.
· Operate and troubleshoot continuity-communications capabilities, potentially including HF radio, satellite, VHF/UHF land-mobile radio, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, telephone, satellite telephone, fax, and related network transport.
· Coordinate with Government personnel, other contractors, users, security teams, and technology vendors while protecting classified and sensitive information.
