complex organizational and programmatic problems within the framework of a team environment with limited direction.
Provide input and participate in programmatic improvement initiatives in support of mission goals.
Provide technical and operational input on such items as Authorization Bases Documents, technical
reports, and program-level procedures. Also, provide technical input to Training, Procedures, and other such support organizations, as appropriate.
