What you'll do

WHAT WILL YOU DO ON A DAY-TO-DAY BASIS?

• Conduct market research and comparative analyses of available technological solutions, assessing their technical suitability, compatibility, and sustainability for future integrations into command and control systems, as well as simulation environments. The purpose is to obtain a solid technical basis for the subsequent drafting of the technical specifications (PPT) and the definition of acquisition requirements.

• Prepare and review technical reports intended for the evaluation of bids in procurement procedures, verifying the technical solvency of bidders and compliance with the technical requirements established in the technical specifications, in accordance with applicable standards and regulations.

• Provide specialized technical advisory support in the selection or replacement of alternative equipment, components, or systems within the framework of obsolescence management, assessing their functional equivalence, interoperability, and suitability for operational specifications.

• Define and justify the technical characteristics of materials acquired through centralized procedures (Centralized Goods or Dynamic Purchasing Systems), ensuring alignment between the system's functional needs and the provisions of current framework contracts.

• Analyze the technical requirements necessary for the identification of spare parts, technical support services, and logistics sustainment elements, including the search, comparison, and evaluation of offers from national and international companies, both for materiel within National Territory and in Areas of Operations.

• Participate in the determination and planning of medium- and long-term technological needs, providing the technical information required for generating documentation within the Defense planning cycles (ENS6).

• Evaluate the technical suitability, security, and interoperability of hardware materials.

• Develop technical studies aimed at managing the obsolescence of COTS materiel in service, including the lifecycle analysis of hardware, software, and firmware components, and renewal strategies in accordance with manufacturer specifications.

• Analyze the technical and documentary information required for the proper receipt of COTS software and firmware, determining the specific procedures for each manufacturer (download portals, technical documentation, certificates, and integrity verification).

• Explore and evaluate technological alternatives, both software and hardware with embedded firmware, that ensure compliance with system accreditation requirements and provide technical, operational, or maintenance advantages over current solutions.
