IRST Capacity Expansion PM

Description

You will be the IRST Capacity Expansion Program Manager for the Infrared Search and Track (IRST) Capacity Expansion team. Our team is responsible for driving exponential growth in IRST production capacity to meet emerging mission needs.

As the IRST Capacity Expansion Program Manager you will be responsible for shaping and executing a multi‑site strategy that expands production capability up to five‑fold while maintaining affordability and producibility.

Your responsibilities will include, but are not limited to:

• Develop and maintain capacity and production‑span models using advanced digital tools to support proposal and execution planning.
• Lead cross‑functional, multi‑site teams (Orlando, Ocala, Archbald, Santa Barbara, and the broader supply base) to identify and mitigate barriers to higher production rates.
• Design and implement risk‑based mitigation plans that address obsolescence, capability upgrades, and supply‑chain constraints.
• Coordinate with IRST program leads to integrate future configurations, second‑source options, and enhanced capabilities.
• Craft and drive capture strategies, securing stakeholder buy‑in and leading proposal negotiations within EPP authority.

We are looking for a collaborative, strategic leader who thrives in complex, high‑impact environments. If you are passionate about transforming production processes, influencing senior stakeholders, and delivering measurable results, this role offers a unique platform to shape the future of IRST capabilities while advancing your own career.
