  • Engage with DoD stakeholders, operators, and analysts to understand mission needs and operational constraints.
  • Contribute to the development and refinement of concepts of operations (CONOPS) for AI-enabled aircraft capabilities.
  • Monitor emerging threats and operational challenges relevant to autonomous and air combat systems.
  • Prepare technical documentation, analysis reports, and briefings for internal teams, customers, and government stakeholders. 
  • Apply modern compute and development best practices (e.g., version control, scripting, scalable compute workflows, and reproducible analysis) to build and maintain reliable analysis pipelines.
