ResponsibilitiesRepresenting the breadth of professional and personal diversity, NSA STEM Technical Leaders bring vision, innovation, and passion for solving unique problems that protect our Nation daily. These leaders have experience with advanced technologies, collaboration, and moving ideas from requirements to implementation. In the government and in today's ever changing technology environment, STEM Technical Leaders (STEMT TLs) have to be more adaptable, relatable and innovative. STEM TLs have to choose what information they keep and what information they take action on. STEM TLs have to evolve more rapidly than ever, and address the most pressing workforce challenges highlighted during the post COVID era (i.e., game changing technology to provide intelligence advantage). STEM TLs drive technical decisions, architectural design discussions, and systems integration within the context of their technical specialties coming from a full spectrum of backgrounds such as software development; systems engineering; architecture; electrical engineering; cryptography and cybersecurity engineering; networking; Nuclear Command, Control and Communication (NC3); cyber defense consulting; National Leadership Command Capabilities (NLCC); DoD Command and Control (NC2), innovation of critical and emerging technologies, and many more. They use their extensive experience leading advancements in technology, which may be at a project or organizational level, to influence technical direction. Although primarily technical, STEM TLs will possess skills to mediate alternative Course of Action discussions, negotiate strategic direction, and drive innovation across a variety of levels. These leaders know how to interpret senior leadership guidance and direction, and translate it into actionable plans, requirements, and strategies. STEM TLs have proven experience delegating resources and tasks as well as, transforming ideas into operational capabilities. While STEM TLs may or may not serve in a supervisory capacity; they will bear the responsibility of leading, mentoring, and developing the next generation of technical experts. In vertical or horizontal teams, STEM TLs push frontiers to advance the NSA mission to gather signals intelligence and protect our Nation's Defense Industrial Base and critical infrastructure. These leaders are adept at working across organizations with competing priorities to build consensus to achieve mission outcomes. These leaders actively engage in diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility efforts to advance NSA's mission; show respect and appreciation for the unique skills, knowledge, abilities and perspectives of all colleagues; and, model inclusive behavior that enables everyone to contribute their fullest to the mission.
