  • Develop working knowledge of radar fundamentals, customer missions, competitive technologies, and Echodyne product capabilities through collaboration with technical subject-matter experts and independent study.
  • Translate complex technical concepts into accurate, accessible customer-facing content, including presentations, collateral, event materials, case studies, web content, email campaigns, and sales tools.
  • Coordinate with Product Management and technical teams to validate claims, maintain message accuracy, and ensure external materials reflect current product capabilities and positioning.
  • Execute digital and outbound marketing activities across web, email, CRM, marketing automation, and related channels; maintain organized campaign and contact data.
  • Monitor campaign, event, and engagement performance; summarize results and recommend practical improvements to messaging, process, and resource allocation.
  • Support agency, contractor, partner, and vendor coordination as needed, while maintaining brand consistency and high-quality execution.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
