Additional Information:
Self-starter : the candidate needs the experience to know what needs to be done, do the work, and then bring it back to the government for approval. The government expects that a candidate at the senior level already knows what needs to be done, and doesn't need to be told what to do on a daily basis.
Systems Engineer (technical) : the candidate needs experience across the entire systems engineering lifecycle, to the point that they can explain the major phases and what Systems Engineering events occur in those phases (e.g. they can explain the difference between Preliminary Design Reviews (PDR) and Critical Design Reviews (CDR). That part of TIP will put the person against the most urgent project need, so there is no guarantee the next candidate will work on the same projects. Having a technical background where the candidate can explain telecommunication concepts like Internet Protocol routing; firewalls; network proxies; or satellite communications would be helpful, but not required.
