Led by a recently retired military leader, this SkillBridge experience is designed to help translate your military technical, operational, and leadership experience into a civilian aerospace career.
You will gain experience with:
The systems engineering lifecycle from initial requirements through integration, verification, and support of fielded products.
Requirements development, decomposition, allocation, traceability, and verification.
