  • Review, analyze, and provide expert feedback on AI-generated content related to federal IT processes, including ATO package reviews, IT investment business cases, incident reports, and privacy impact assessments.
  • Diagnose and resolve complex hardware, software, network, and application incidents generated by AI, reflecting realistic federal environments.
  • Contribute actionable insights to technical guidance and training resources for AI model development, ensuring accuracy in federal IT contexts.
  • Evaluate and refine technical documentation, system configurations, and security controls generated by AI systems.
  • Support incident response simulations and use-case evaluations to improve AI model performance in detecting and addressing security incidents.
  • Assess AI outputs for alignment with federal cybersecurity, privacy, and information assurance requirements.

Preferred Qualifications

  • 5+ years of experience in federal IT roles (GS-2210 or equivalent), with demonstrated success in hardware repair, network administration, and incident response.
  • Proven track record in information security implementation and compliance within federal frameworks (e.g., FISMA, NIST).
  • Expertise in diagnosing and troubleshooting heterogeneous IT environments (hardware, software, network, applications).
  • Experience preparing or reviewing federal documentation: ATO packages, privacy impact assessments, incident reports, or IT investment business cases.
  • Commitment to upholding data integrity, security, and privacy in all deliverables and project activities.
