This is an excellent opportunity to work on a complex, multi-domain defence initiative requiring deep expertise in systems engineering, integration, and technical oversight.

Proven experience in requirements engineering or business analysis within complex defence or C5I projects.
Strong understanding of systems integration principles and managing interdependencies in multi-domain programs.

Excellent communication, stakeholder engagement, and facilitation skills.
Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities with attention to detail.
