• 8+ years of professional experience directly related to the analysis of military mission areas, CONEMPs, and associated kill chains

Preferred Qualifications:

• Proven experience as a Training Officer, Operations Officer, or Planner with deep familiarity in breaking down joint or naval task lists into operational training syllabi or execution plans




• Strong operational background across Joint Operations, Surface Warfare, Information Warfare, or Air-to-Surface mission areas (not strictly limited to aviation)




• Experience with Cameo Systems Modeler, Cameo Enterprise Architecture, MagicDraw, or a strong aptitude and willingness to quickly learn digital engineering/architecture modeling tools




• DoD 5000 series lifecycle and capability gap assessment processes

Clearance Requirements:

• Must have a current and active Top Secret clearance and be willing and able to obtain an SCI
