• Collaborating closely with Census Bureau teams and stakeholders to align technical solutions with operational needs
• Developing and maintaining comprehensive documentation and solution architecture design recommendations and providing actionable insights to inform planning for the 2030 Census

Responsibilities:

In this role, you will support the design, integration, and analysis of the communication systems that will enable 26CT workers to effectively communicate and collaborate across the nation.
