• Technical knowledge of radio-programming standards, interoperability requirements, firmware and flash updates, and encryption configurations
• Experience managing subscriber fleet maps and operational codeplugs
• Experience in a federal law-enforcement or comparable public-safety communications environment
• Ability to coordinate and support large-scale field-programming activities
• Must be able to obtain and maintain the DHS suitability determination required for access to systems and facilities
