** Acquisition Program Manager SME
** to support AFLCMC/WA at Wright‐Patterson AFB, Ohio within the Integrated Capabilities Team (ICT) focused on Infrared (IR) Sensing Technologies. The selected candidate will provide program management support to a horizontally aligned team responsible for planning, integrating, and synchronizing IR sensing capabilities across multiple platforms and modernization efforts. This position supports new and ongoing AFLCMC/WA Fighters and Advanced Aircraft enterprise activities and requires engagement across the full acquisition lifecycle, including program planning, requirements development, schedule and risk management, coordination across multiple weapon system platforms, test plan integration, configuration management oversight, production and manufacturing planning, quality assurance coordination, and sustainment/logistics tracking.

● Support program/project integration activities, including ICT-driven horizontal integration, cross‐platform coordination, and collaboration with multiple stakeholder groups.
● Develop and update a program’s Integrated Master Schedule (IMS), ensuring dependencies account for ICT activities and cross‐platform integration requirements.
● Apply program management and basic systems engineering principles to ICT projects and acquisition challenges, providing informed input to project leads and engineers.
● Assist program leadership and ICT leads by providing analysis and recommendations related to capability development, demonstrations, and integration across multiple…
