• Strong hands-on experience with metamodel customization, data modeling tools, and migration processes.
• Proficiency in Visio, ServiceNow/CSDM, and similar EA modeling/repositories.
• Knowledge of FEAF v2.0, DoDAF frameworks, and data standards (e.g., metadata, lexicons).
• Ability to obtain and maintain a Secret security clearance (or higher as required).
