You will collaborate across USSOCOM, the DoD, commercial industry, and the academic space to identify and develop technology and capability enhancements that are informed by close collaboration and coordination with the labs, universities, agencies, and industry partners who are on the cutting edge of research and Development.

You will participate in and support assessments, planning, and development of courses of action to identify and counter emerging threats; strengthen partner nation capability; and facilitate crisis response and contingency operations. You will work to promote collaboration and integration across the enterprise and with all strategic, operational, and tactical partners to drive efficiencies and ensure our SOF partners achieve their priorities and objectives.
