The Subject Matter Expert (SME) provides high-level technical knowledge and functional analysis for exceptionally complex problems within specialized operational environments. This role bridges the gap between strategic IT planning (cyber, cloud, and enterprise performance) and hands-on Tier 2 technical support, including mobile, VTC, audio-visual, and printer systems. The SME applies advanced principles and mathematical methods to design, integrate, and implement automated solutions for difficult technical challenges.
