ABOUT THE ROLE
You will own the programme documentation and milestone gate evidence packages that keep Project MAKARA funded and on schedule. This is the role that ensures SDT gets paid at each of the six iDEX ADITI 4 disbursement milestones — every gate package, every DIO submission, every NSTL deliverable confirmation flows through this position.
This is a process-critical, output-driven role. You will work directly with the founding team and the Systems & Requirements Engineer to translate technical progress into formal programme evidence, manage the programme schedule, and maintain the institutional relationships that the programme depends on.
Full programme scope shared under NDA at first interview stage.
