The proposed program is a 90-day (12-week) DoD SkillBridge corporate fellowship hosted by Parsons Corporation. This virtual-office fellowship (based in Georgia) is structured to provide advanced, hands-on career training for the position of Senior Technical Program Manager / Technical Consultant within the Defense Engineering Solutions business segment. Upon acceptance, the candidate is required to possess an active TS/SCI security clearance with Polygraph, a deep foundational background in military tactical networks, and extensive technical leadership experience. Additionally, robust technical competencies in cybersecurity, systems integration, and data architecture are required. Under the direct guidance of a Principal Tech Consultant and VP of Mission Command & Simulation, the candidate’s learning and integration will be measured against two core milestones: mastering the program/business strategic operational view and successfully navigating the tactical service and deliverable lifecycle from initial requirements through implementation.
