    • Demonstrated experience supporting or working within Special Access Programs (SAPs)
    • Deep expertise in air superiority, advanced weapons systems, electronic warfare, or ISR operations
    • Strong understanding of LO/CLO technologies and operational applications
    • Current Top Secret (TS) clearance (active)
    • Ability to work full-time onsite at the Pentagon

    Preferred Qualifications

    • Experience supporting MAJCOM, Headquarters Air Force, or OSD-level organizations
    • Background in systems engineering, requirements development, or acquisition support
    • Willing to learn about foreign military sales (FMS) and export compliance processes
    • Master's degree, Engineering, Defense Studies, or related field desired
    • Fighter, bomber, ISR, or RPA operational background required
