Location: Colorado

Lockheed Martin is seeking a Project Engineer/Control Account Manager (CAM) to join the SDA Portfolio supporting the SDA Systems Engineering team. The SDA CAM will lead, plan, budget, and manage technical, schedule, and cost performance for the Systems Engineering team. This role sits at the intersection of engineering execution and program management, helping Chief Systems Engineers maintain real‑time visibility into headcount, schedule, and cost performance across multiple programs.

Primary responsibilities include:

• Address headcount challenges and resource constraints
• Manage control account performance and elevate concerns/issues to program management and other stakeholders
• Identify risks and opportunities and implement approved actions

• Analyze and report variances and proactively implement corrective actions
• Ensure all EVM documentation is complete and meets compliance requirements for responsible control accounts
• Ensure current CAM certification and training is always maintained

Success is measured by:

• Variance reports delivered accurately, on time, with clear root cause and corrective action narratives

• CAM processes are consistent, documented, and continuously improving

Desired skills:

• Attention to detail produces accurate, traceable deliverables across complex data sets
• Business acumen understands program financials, contract constraints, and resource trade‑offs
• Effective communication translates complex CAM data into clear, actionable narrative for SE leadership
• Innovative thinking seeks smarter ways to track, report, and improve execution processes
• Experience with systems engineering domain work and products
• Demonstrated systems‑thinking behaviors and ability to apply appropriate skills
