External Title Configuration Engineer - SME

Responsibilities

Join Peraton's mission-critical team supporting secure, real-time data delivery across complex operational environments in direct support of our nation's warfighters. If you are driven by national security and energized by cutting-edge C2

ISR capabilities, sensor integration, and resilient data transport solutions, we invite you to join our team.

We are seeking highly cleared professionals who excel at the intersection of advanced communications infrastructure, distributed systems, and mission assurance—where reliability, security, and performance are paramount.

Specifically, we are looking for a TS/SCI cleared Configuration Engineer - SME to support this mission at Pope Army Airfield, NC.

Responsibilities:

• Provides leadership for configuration engineering functions within systems integration support, establishing overarching goals and strategic plans for delivering integrated C2
  
  ISR solutions.
• Leads activities to modernize engineering practices, digital engineering frameworks, and emerging mission systems technologies.
• Directs and controls the strategic design, development, and implementation of configuration architectures that enable streamlined technical integration strategies for complex, mission-critical infrastructure components.
• Possesses expert domain and technical knowledge in advanced configuration engineering and C2
  
  ISR systems integration, applying this to define and drive the technical roadmap for enhancing system interoperability, technological convergence, and mission effectiveness.
• Has overall responsibility for establishing and implementing innovative approaches to configuration that ensure continuous network reliability and mission-effective technological capabilities across all C2
  
  ISR integration efforts. Provides training on integrated C2
  
  ISR workflows, data flows, and cross-platform dependencies.
• Engages in high-level client negotiations and interfaces with senior management regarding the strategic vision, capabilities, and resource allocation for advanced integration capabilities and configuration solutions.
• Utilizes expert domain knowledge and decision-making that has a critical impact on the overall project implementation, ensuring configurations achieve seamless integration and mission-focused technological innovation for all C2
  
  ISR capabilities.
• Directs and controls the methods and staffing for configuration engineering teams, ensuring delivery of high-impact, scalable, and resilient configurations that optimize integrated system performance and technological adaptability.
• Provides authoritative guidance on all integration support areas, including configuring components for Squadron Operations Centers, GHOCs, SATCOM Gateways, RGEPs, DDS Sites, ETDVS solutions, and pre-existing DISA Block 1, Block 2, and Block 3 infrastructure.
• Establishes and governs the architectural principles, tools, and platforms for all configuration engineering efforts, critically impacting the reliability, resilience, and operational effectiveness of integrated C2
  
  ISR systems.
• Shapes the future direction of C2
  
  ISR systems integration by pioneering new configuration technologies, research, and advanced deployment techniques, directly impacting mission success and future-state readiness.
• Utilizes the following role-specific tools: configuration management databases (CMDB) with version control; automated configuration tracking systems (Ansible, Puppet, Chef); baseline management dashboards for hardware/software assets; compliance audit checklists for DoD/FAR/DFARS standards; SOP/QRC libraries for standardized configuration processes; lessons learned repositories for configuration control; variance and change impact analysis tools; stakeholder communication dashboards for configuration status visibility; automated testing suites for configuration validation;
  
  encryption and access control modules for secure configuration management; predictive analytics engines for configuration drift detection; documentation repositories for configuration items and release notes.
