The Work

Program Planning – What It Is & Why It Matters Program planning is the backbone of successful, complex projects. Planners translate strategic goals into detailed, time‑phased schedules, identify risks, and provide the data that leaders need to make informed decisions. Think of it as the "navigation system" for multidisciplinary programs - guiding resources, milestones, and deliverables from concept to completion. If you have ever coordinated construction timelines, managed curriculum rollouts, planned hospitality events, coordinated healthcare programs, overseen product launches, or synchronized mission‑critical operations, you already practice the core of program planning.

This role gives you the chance to sharpen those skills, learn industry leading tools, and grow a career that directly supports national defense and aerospace innovation.

This position will support the Missile Defense & Space Surveillance (MD&SS) and/or the Anti-Submarine Warfare Acoustics Sensors and Weapons (ASW2) portfolio of programs. Assist Program Planning leads in establishing and executing business rhythms required to accomplish program control, analyses and forecasting objectives.

Participate and assist in program and functional meetings that support on‑going business performance requirements.

Support independent network analyses resulting in reports and metrics. Assist with data and process quality assessments of planning products and preparation for surveillance reviews to ensure compliance with program performance management, as required.
