Experience working within both Agile and Waterfall delivery models is preferred, demonstrating flexibility in project management approaches. Strong analytical, organizational, and communication skills are vital, along with the ability to work independently with minimal supervision. A bachelor’s degree in engineering, technology, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience, is required. Proficiency with system modeling tools like SysML, UML, Cameo, or Archimate is advantageous. Candidates should also be eligible to obtain security clearances, including NPPV2 and potentially MOD DV clearance.
