Strong proficiency in architecture modeling frameworks (TOGAF, DoDAF, or equivalent).

Familiarity with federal security and compliance frameworks including NIST RMF and FISMA.

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Systems Engineering, or related technical field required; Master's preferred.

TOGAF or equivalent enterprise architecture certification preferred.
