Position Responsibilities The I&T Engineering Project Manager (EPM) will lead the I&T Resource Managed Area (RMA), directing all I&T commitments and ensuring that technical backlog items are prioritized, decomposed into executable epics and capabilities, and adequately staffed to meet schedule, cost, and performance objectives. As the primary technical authority for I&T across the C2
BMC program, the EPM will ensure that engineering solutions, test plans, and system baselines align with the program's overall goals and modern engineering practices. Responsibilities include developing and maintaining the I&T portion of the program schedule, cost estimates, and risk/opportunity registers; owning earned-value management and control account responsibilities for the RMA; recruiting, selecting, training, and retaining a high-performing I&T workforce; managing work assignments, performance assessments, recognition, and disciplinary actions;
and mitigating attrition to meet demand signals. The role requires close coordination with Solution Chiefs, other Resource Managed Areas (RMAs), Agile Release Trains (ARTs), and external partners (e.g., Northrop Grumman, Raytheon, Boeing, General Dynamics) to resolve dependencies, address issues, and synchronize efforts across geographically dispersed teams. The EPM will author and approve Basis of Estimates (BOE) and proposal technical content for I&T efforts, validating that resources are correctly sized against scope and that commitments are realistic.
Risk and opportunity management is essential—identifying, evaluating, tracking, and mitigating I&T-related risks with timely execution and reporting to senior leadership. The manager will provide clear, concise briefings and status updates to senior leaders, customers, and external stakeholders, acting as the primary spokesperson for I&T capabilities and progress. Championing Agile System/Software Development methodologies within the I&T RMA, the EPM will drive continuous improvement, data-informed decision-making, and adoption of digital engineering tools (e.g., JIRA, Confluence, Agility).
Travel to development, testing, and operational sites may be required to oversee I&T activities, conduct audits, and represent the program in customer and partner meetings.
