• Assist with incorporating new plans, designs, and systems into ongoing operations.
• Develop and maintain technical documentation, architecture documentation, and system design materials.
• Support the preparation of systems engineering management plans, integration plans, and test planning documentation.
• Prepare and validate technology requests by working directly with requestors and stakeholders.
• Present or support presentation of requests at Technology and Architecture Council meetings for technical director and architect approval.

• Nineteen years of relevant experience with a bachelor's degree.
• Strong experience with systems engineering, requirements analysis, and technical documentation.
• Experience managing system-of-systems requirements.
• Ability to define, deduplicate, validate, and review requirements for measurable, testable, and verifiable capability.
• Ability to communicate technical information clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Strong customer-facing communication skills and comfort working with senior Government and technical leadership.

Preferred Experience

• Security+ certification.
