*Follow the design of the prototype system and subsystems through Preliminary and Final Designs
*Support procurement of the hardware for the prototype laser amplifiers and optical conditioning equipment
*Oversee and assist assembly by a team of interdisciplinary technicians
*Support shake-down and testing of the laser amplifiers optical conditioning and ancillary systems
*Support ongoing operation of the subject equipment/systems
*Continue above roles and responsibilities to participate in subsequent amplifier up-scaling leading to that which is needed for a power-producing IFE reactor
*Participate in concept studies supporting the use of these lasers in a power-producing IFE reactor, and other applications
