Deep functional understanding of FAR/DFARS requirements and ability to structure/manage compliance matrices.
Exceptional ability to translate highly complex aerospace, autonomy, or software engineering concepts into clear, concise narrative content.
Strong technical literacy in aerospace systems, unmanned platforms, aviation, autonomy, or defense software.
Experience managing configuration control, scheduling, and document production.
