Qualifications

We’re looking for someone with commitment and the drive to succeed! Experience as a consultant is a plus, but your attitude is what matters most. To succeed as a consultant with us, you need to demonstrate strong initiative, the ability to collaborate, and be skilled at communicating and taking responsibility for the challenges you face.

We require that you have at least a bachelor’s degree in engineering, as well as at least several years of professional experience in a technology-related role within the defense sector or defense-related fields. You also have extensive professional experience working with the systems lifecycle process, including experience with requirements management, requirements verification, and ILS.
