- Exposure to advanced defense systems or systems engineering concepts
- Experience supporting SAF/AQL or similar Air Force acquisition organizations
- Proven ability to engage with senior leaders and cross-functional teams
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, especially in executive-level messaging
