- Evidence of experience in elicitation and management of User and System Requirements, and associated Acceptance/V&V, within complex engineering projects.

- Working with large and complex stakeholder groups to understand the capability and system needs, and utilisation of various techniques (workshops, interviews, etc) to elicit the requirements and Measures of Effectiveness/Performance;
- A detailed understanding of requirements writing techniques, functional breakdown and use case development;
- The use of Model Based Systems Engineering techniques in support of requirements development.

- You must possess excellent communication skills, both verbal and written, and have experience of direct client liaison.
It is to your advantage if you meet any or all the following additional requirements:
- An understanding of architecture modelling techniques, such as TOGAF/NAF, and tools would be an advantage.
