We are seeking an experienced
Technical Program Manager and Subject Matter Expert (SME) in Digital Test & Evaluation (T&E)tohelp modernize traditional defense T&E processes through digital engineering, modeling and simulation, software integration, data orchestration, Dev Sec Ops , and cloud and edge technologies. This role will support the development and implementation of an enterprise Digital T&E ecosystem that connects users, tools, data, models, simulations, and test resources to enable faster, more continuous, data-driven testing and decision-making.

Working across test organizations, program offices, ranges, laboratories, cybersecurity teams, operational users, and commercial vendors, the Technical Program Manager will translate mission and technical requirements into executable pilots, software requirements, integration plans, and transition strategies to support the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU).

• Lead and manage Digital T&E prototype efforts from problem definition and market research through technical diligence, pilot execution, user evaluation, and transition.
• Translate military T&E workflows, capability claims, operational needs, and program decisions into software requirements, user stories, integration requirements, acceptance criteria, and measurable pilot outcomes.
• Design and evaluate end-to-end T&E workflows that connect requirements, mission and systems engineering, modeling and simulation, test planning, test execution, test data collection, analysis, reporting, and decision support.
• Apply working knowledge of test strategy and design to help teams define Measures of Performance (MoPs), Measures of Effectiveness (MoEs), test objectives, data requirements, evidence thresholds, and the appropriate mix of modeling and simulation, laboratory, cyber, and physical-range testing.
• Serve as a technical integrator across Digital T&E tool categories including mission engineering, systems engineering / MBSE, Dev Sec Ops  and CI/CD, modeling and simulation, detailed test planning, risk management, test execution, test-data monitoring, test management, analysis, visualization, reporting, and data governance.
• Develop and validate digital-thread concepts that allow authoritative data and artifacts to flow between engineering, test, and assessment tools without unnecessary manual re-entry or duplication.
• Coordinate integration of commercial software into defense RDT&E infrastructure, including government and commercial cloud, edge environments, RDT&E networks, and classified/unclassified enclaves, while accounting for cybersecurity, identity and access management, data protection, interoperability, and accreditation requirements.
• Identify and resolve technical barriers associated with APIs, data schemas, metadata, containerization, software deployment, network connectivity, data federation, tool interoperability, and integration with existing systems of record.
• Work with Government test organizations, program offices, users, data owners, security teams, software vendors, and infrastructure providers to establish realistic pilot architectures and execution plans.
• Conduct technical due diligence of commercial software and emerging T&E technologies, assessing product maturity, architectural fit, interoperability, security posture, data rights, scalability, user experience, and potential to improve T&E outcomes.
• Create and lead collaborative teams of Government and commercial entities to prototype, integrate, test, and…
