The Role Peraton is seeking an experienced Technical Project Manager within Architecture and Systems Engineering organization to lead the planning, execution, and delivery of complex technical projects across the BNATCS program. This position is uniquely challenging as you are not managing a single development team building a single product. You are orchestrating the convergence of multiple work streams, vendors, subcontractors, and technology deliverables that must come together on schedule, within budget, and in compliance with rigorous technical and mission requirements.

This role requires an engineer's understanding of what is being built and an integrator's instinct for where things break down. You will manage the interdependencies, critical paths, and technical risks that emerge when independently managed efforts must synchronize at integration milestones. You will serve as the connective tissue between systems engineering, software development, cybersecurity, test, operations, and subcontractor teams - ensuring that technical execution stays aligned with program objectives and that integration risks are identified and mitigated before they become schedule or mission impacts.

This postion will be located in Herndon, VA.

Key Responsibilities
* Develop and maintain integrated project plans - scope, schedule, budget, resource allocation, and risk management - for technical projects spanning multiple engineering disciplines, vendors, and subcontractors

* Build and manage integrated master schedules (IMS) that capture cross-team and cross-vendor dependencies, integration milestones, delivery dates, and critical path activities across the program

* Establish work breakdown structures (WBS) that decompose complex integration efforts into manageable, trackable, and assignable work packages with clear ownership - including work performed by subcontractors and vendors

* Drive disciplined earned value management (EVM) practices, tracking cost and schedule performance (CPI/SPI), forecasting estimates at completion (EAC), and identifying variances that require corrective action

* Manage project baselines and execute formal change control when scope, schedule, or budget adjustments are required, coordinating with the Configuration Control Board (CCB) as appropriate

* Serve as the integration orchestrator, managing the convergence of independently developed components from internal teams, subcontractors, and vendors into coordinated integration, test, and delivery events

* Identify, track, and actively manage cross-vendor dependencies and interface risks - the schedule and technical linkages between separately managed efforts that represent the highest-risk areas in an integration program

* Coordinate integration readiness activities, ensuring that all contributing parties - internal and external - meet entry criteria for integration milestones, including hardware/software delivery, interface readiness, test environment availability, and documentation completeness

* Lead integration planning sessions that bring together systems engineering, software, test, cybersecurity, infrastructure, and subcontractor leads to synchronize plans, resolve conflicts, and align on sequencing

* Manage subcontractor and vendor technical performance, tracking deliverable quality, schedule adherence, and compliance with contractual and technical requirements - escalating issues through appropriate program channels

* Implement and maintain a proactive risk management program - identifying, assessing, quantifying, and mitigating technical, schedule, and integration risks before they materialize as impacts

* Manage issue resolution across organizational boundaries, driving multi-party action plans for problems that span vendor interfaces, shared infrastructure, or cross-team dependencies

* Conduct schedule risk analyses (SRA) and Monte Carlo simulations to quantify schedule confidence levels and identify probabilistic critical paths

* Maintain a decision log and action item tracker that captures technical decisions, trade-off outcomes, and assigned actions with clear ownership and due dates

* Align project execution with systems engineering lifecycle…
