Monitor proposal submissions, white papers, and technology briefs; maintain organized documentation in Microsoft 365 (Teams, SharePoint).
Capture notes and track action items during Technical Interchange Meetings (TIMs), S&T reviews, and stakeholder coordination sessions.
Contribute to tech assessments and help prepare material for internal briefs, decision points, and innovation pipeline reviews.
Qualifications:
Bachelor’s degree in a technical, scientific, or analytical field (e.g., Engineering, Physics, Data Science).
0–2 years of relevant experience, including internships, research assistantships, or coursework involving technology development or policy.
Excellent communication, writing, and organizational skills with attention to technical clarity and document structure.

Basic understanding of acquisition pathways and the early phases of technology development.
