Job type: Contractor
Start date: November, 2026
Security clearance: NATO UNCLASSIFIED
SCOPE OF WORK / DUTIES / ROLES
The purpose of this requirement is to obtain practical demonstrations of supplier capabilities against selected use cases. The Contractor shall:
- Confirm pilot objectives, stakeholders, use case scope, success criteria, and demonstration scenarios;
- Identify the minimum NCIA-furnished access, onboarding support, data, accounts, connectivity, stakeholder time, repositories, or other dependencies required for deployment and demonstration on NSF or another NCIA-approved environment;
- Define the minimum toolchain configuration needed to demonstrate the selected use case or use cases;
- Install, configure, integrate, or simulate toolchain components as agreed with NCIA;
- Use synthetic or NCIA-approved representative data unless otherwise authorized;
- Implement templates, example artefacts, workflows, interfaces, and traceability links needed for the demonstration;
- Demonstrate information continuity across selected journey layers or boundaries;
- Capture evidence, lessons learned, constraints, technical limitations, user feedback, and scale-up considerations;
- Provide teardown evidence and, where NCIA has agreed transition, reuse, or retention in advance, provide the corresponding transition, reuse, or retention guidance with instructions for later teardown.
Each demonstration shall minimise customisation unless explicitly approved by NCIA. Any custom code, proprietary connector, licence dependency, open-source component, third-party service, or vendor-specific format shall be identified.
REQUIRED SKILLS, KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE
- 3+ years of experience delivering toolchain pilots, technical demonstrations, systemsintegration, or digital engineering environments in NATO, defense, public-sector, or similarly complex settings;
- 4+ years of experience with enterprise architecture, solution architecture, systems engineering, model-based systems engineering, data/information architecture, or digital thread implementation;
- 3+ years of experience configuring or integrating tools for requirements, architecture, modelling, workflow, evidence management, dashboards, repositories, APIs, or related capability development activities;
- Understanding of interoperability, security by design, data-centricity, Zero Trust, modular open systems, and avoidance of vendor lock-in;
- Ability to produce clear technical documentation, demonstration scripts, evidence packs, and lessons learned reports;
- Ability to work in multinational and multi-stakeholder environments;
- Ability to operate under NATO security, access, data, infrastructure, and information handling constraints;
- Fluency in Business English;
- Required NATO security clearance where applicable.
Desirable:
