Requirements Analyst

Turn mission needs into clear direction. As a Requirements Analyst at Varada Defense, you'll work with stakeholders and technical teams to turn customer and mission needs into clear requirements. You'll define expected outcomes, document acceptance criteria, and keep everyone aligned through implementation and testing.

You'll ask the questions that surface what people actually need, and help customers and engineers reach a shared understanding. It's a chance to shape systems from the very start, so what gets delivered is what was actually needed.
