About the Work Location:
• Candidates must reside within commuting distance of Washington, DC; no exceptions.
• Work is primarily performed from your home office.
• Periodic onsite attendance is required to support classified (high-side) environments, attend project meetings, collaborate with government stakeholders, and perform work that cannot be conducted remotely.
You will serve as the bridge between spectrum engineers, government stakeholders, and software developers, translating complex engineering requirements into detailed user stories, helping guide development, validating new functionality, and supporting users across the federal spectrum community.
The ideal candidate understands the NTIA Manual of Regulations and Procedures for Federal Radio Frequency Management ("The Redbook"), the Table of Allocations (TOA), and the business processes surrounding federal spectrum assignments. Experience with EL-CID Desktop, Standard Spectrum Resource Format (SSRF), and spectrum system design is highly desirable.
Responsibilities
• Use EL-CID Desktop to determine current functionality.

• Write requirements and defects as JIRA stories and bugs.
• Prepare for and host pre-IPT meetings to decompose high-level epics into detailed user stories with acceptance criteria.
• Own the functional product backlog and participate in Integrated Project Team (IPT) meetings to explain functionality and assist government stakeholders with prioritization.
• Collaborate with software developers to ensure they understand system functionality and implementation requirements.
• Test functionality after development and validate implementation.
• Serve as the Subject Matter Expert for spectrum systems and federal frequency assignments.
• Recommend business and technical solutions that satisfy operational requirements.
• Provide production support by assisting users with spectrum system creation, troubleshooting compliance issues, and resolving production problems.
• Communicate effectively through written documentation and verbal presentations with engineers, developers, and government stakeholders.
• Create mockups, flow diagrams, process models, and feasibility studies to support solution design.
• Work independently while managing multiple priorities.
• Develop user training materials including specification sheets, certification requests, training scripts, PowerPoint presentations, and instructor-led training sessions.
• Generate agendas and lead recurring meetings regarding Import/Export functionality and SSRF interoperability. Produce meeting minutes and action items.
• Review user manual updates after each sprint to ensure technical accuracy.
