    Define constraints (e.g., geography, EM spectrum, policy) that limit the solution space.
    Determine which metrics to optimize (e.g., minimize fielding time subject to a set cost), when designing the proposed solution.
    Provide potential architecture updates and/or future concepts that meet the goal, subject to the constraints, optimizing the specified metrics.


    Basic Qualifications:

    At a minimum, qualified candidates must have:
    A bachelor's degree in a technical field such as engineering, mathematics, physical sciences, or computer science.
