• Shape the success of future concepts, products, and technologies through technical judgment and recommendations.
• Create and sustain formal networks that coordinate activity among groups and other key decision makers.
• Maintain regular working contact with resources both internal and external to the organization.
• Determine the course of action needed to accomplish objectives, working with independent judgment and on largely self-initiated assignments.

At this level, post-graduate coursework may be expected. Additional consideration may be given to professionally recognized training and certifications in related fields.

• Demonstrated ability to develop advanced concepts, techniques, and standards based on professional quality principles and theories.
• Experience resolving complex or unique issues where sound recommendations are critical to organizational objectives.
• Proven ability to build formal networks and coordinate across groups and key decision makers.
• Ability to work virtually self-supervised, exercising independent judgment and wide latitude in methods and evaluation criteria.
Security Clearance
