  • Prepare presentations and keep stakeholders and management informed about capacity maintenance strategies, challenges, and risks;
  • Conduct risk assessments related to capacity maintenance, including system modifications, refreshes, and upgrades, providing data to relevant authorities;
  • Analyze system change proposals and recommend adjustments regarding systems, antennas, infrastructure, and subsystem interfaces;
  • Provide expertise in system deficiency analysis and suggest cost-effective solutions;
  • Assist with system integration testing and evaluation;
  • Contribute to project implementation phases from a capacity maintenance viewpoint;

  • Specific reports, meeting summaries, decision records, presentations, or spreadsheets associated with PE systems;
  • Analysis and recommendations regarding PE system communications, interfaces, and requirements;
  • Monthly progress updates;
  • Travel documentation, if necessary.
