Provide engineering-based consultation via briefings, discussions, and written materials on control systems, facility infrastructure, protective design, vulnerabilities, and operations
Support (and when directed, deliver) instruction/briefings at customer training venues (e.g., Underground Facility Schoolhouse) and during technical exchanges or tours
Perform technical quality reviews of HDBT-related products to ensure adherence to engineering tradecraft and analytical standards
Maintain awareness of state-of-the-art industrial and building control practices, tooling, and emerging technologies relevant to control systems assessment and modeling
Recommend improvements to analytical workflows, collection strategies, and essential elements of information (EEIs) to strengthen assessment fidelity and speed
Support evaluations and ground-truth efforts (e.g., measurements, equipment readings/signatures, facility scans) when required; document workflows and results
Be available for night/weekend work in response to crises or time-sensitive contingencies upon Government notification
