The successful candidate will have prior munitions/loading experience to support all matters related to the maintenance, loading, and sustainment of weapon systems integrated on AFGSC aircraft. This role acts as the vital bridge between the operational perspective of program offices and the hands-on reality of the flight line.

• Training Plan and Technical Order Review: Provide an expert maintainer's review of all draft training plans, course materials, and technical orders. Ensure procedures are written clearly, are technically accurate, and follow established safety protocols before they are fielded to operational units.
• Liaison and Communication: Serve as a primary liaison between the AFGSC weapons enterprise, the weapon/aircraft System Program Offices (SPOs), and Air Force Operational Test & Evaluation Center (AFOTEC) on all sustainment-related matters. Translate headquarters guidance for the test community and communicate flight line realities back to program managers.
