You will champion model-based engineering (MBE) practices, maintaining a live Digital Twin of the launch silo and ensuring traceability from requirement to test. Additionally, you will foster customer intimacy, acting as the primary technical liaison for all launch silo-related inquiries and status reports while preparing concise, data-driven briefings for senior leadership and DoD customers.
