  • Coordinate across software, systems, test, fielding, support, and, where applicable, hardware teams to resolve cross-functional dependencies and deliver high-quality program outcomes
  • Lead program status reviews, technical reviews, risk reviews, and executive/customer briefings; translate technical progress, trade-offs, and issues into clear program-level impacts and recommended actions
  • Guide programs through the full lifecycle, including requirements, development, integration, test, delivery, transition, and fielding; support contract execution, proposals, LOE estimates, statements of work, and follow-on planning
  • Provide leadership and mentorship across the PM team, establish scalable program management practices, and support organizational planning and prioritization across multiple programs

  • 7+ years of project and/or program management experience, including leadership of complex, cross-functional technical development efforts

  • Demonstrated success leading programs through the full lifecycle, from requirements and planning through development, integration, test, delivery, and transition/fielding, using Agile, Waterfall, or hybrid execution models
  • Experience developing and managing integrated program plans and schedules, budgets, resources, risks, dependencies, customer commitments, and program-level performance reporting
  • Strong leadership, communication, and interpersonal skills with the ability to influence engineers, business teams, customers, senior leaders, and government stakeholders
  • Highly organized and able to lead multiple workstreams and competing priorities while making sound decisions in a fast-paced environment with evolving requirements

Desired Qualifications:
  • Experience developing or managing hardware products or integrated software/hardware systems through design, integration, test, production, or fielding
  • Experience supporting a DoD Program of Record (PoR), including government program offices, acquisition stakeholders, formal reviews, contract deliverables, or fielding

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way.
