  • Ability to adapt and remain organized in a fast-paced environment.
  • Strong analytical skills and the capability to troubleshoot complex system issues in real-time.
  • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to convey technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.
  • Eligibility to obtain and maintain a DoD Top Secret clearance; an existing clearance is highly desirable.
