• Help design experiments to provide insight into cause‑and‑effect in EW system performance; create and validate experimentation plans/procedures traced to requirements and test objectives
• Oversee execution of experimentation to characterize and assess system effectiveness in laboratory and field environments, including military service‑level events

• Use clear verbal and written communication to collaborate on requirements and to present data and explain results to management and customers
