• At least three years supporting Federal or DoD technical programs.
• At least three years managing configuration baselines, change controls, quality controls, schedules, risks, technical documentation, releases, or technical deliverables.
• Demonstrated experience coordinating configuration/change activities across infrastructure, database, cybersecurity, systems administration, and development/test functions.
• Experience supporting configuration audits, engineering reviews, release readiness, corrective-action tracking, and post-deployment validation is strongly preferred.

• Maintain the configuration-management framework, configuration records, and approved technical baselines for applicable FMWF environments and assets.
• Coordinate engineering-change packages and maintain end-to-end traceability from change request and impact analysis through approval, implementation, testing, validation, documentation, and baseline update.
• Coordinate, document, track, and validate configuration changes associated with enterprise patches, updates, enhancements, system modifications, IAVAs, TCNOs, NOTAMs, and related mission or security directives.
• Track and verify implementation of IAVA, TCNO, and related directives within prescribed timelines.
• Maintain configuration-management controls for development and test assets, including controlled configuration states, patch validation, release controls, and configuration documentation.
• Support engineering validation of patches, updates, enhancements, and system modifications before production release and verify production readiness prior to deployment.
• Conduct or coordinate configuration audits and post-deployment reviews to verify approved implementation, documentation accuracy, configuration baseline integrity, and technical performance following configuration changes.
• Support configuration-related root-cause analysis for discrepancies, failed changes, audit findings, baseline deviations, or performance degradation; track corrective actions through validated closure.
• Coordinate configuration, release, change-control, and quality activities across infrastructure, database, cybersecurity, systems administration, development/test, and program-management functions.
• Support configuration management, documentation, baseline control, and change tracking associated with Continuity of Operations (COOP) testing and deployment activities.
