Technical Program Manager - EA 37B

SRC, Inc. is currently seeking a Technical Program Manager to lead the planning, execution, and technical coordination of EA-37B Compass Call data requirements, developmental and operational test activities, and capability-development efforts supporting U.S. Air Force Big Safari rapid acquisition programs.

The selected candidate will connect operational needs with test design, data collection, analysis, mission-system integration, and program decisions. This role requires a hands-on leader who can manage complex flight-test and data-development activities while working effectively with Air Force program offices, test organizations, operational units, laboratories, and industry partners to rapidly field and improve electronic attack capability.

• Lead program planning, technical execution, and delivery for EA-37B data-requirements, test, and development activities
• Translate operational mission data needs into clear, measurable data, test, analysis, and capability-development requirements
• Develop and review test strategies, test plans, data-collection plans, analysis approaches, reports, technical assessments, and decision briefings
• Lead the definition, collection, management, and analysis of mission, aircraft, electronic warfare, telemetry, and supporting test data; ensure data products answer operational and engineering questions
• Coordinate cross-functional teams of test engineers, analysts, mission-system engineers, software developers, aircrew, and contractor personnel to resolve technical issues and maintain execution tempo
• Assess contractor technical approaches, designs, schedules, and deliverables for adequacy, integration risk, requirement compliance, and readiness for test and fielding
• Support integration and modernization of electronic attack, communications, sensors, payloads, mission-computing, and mission-software capabilities on the EA-37B
• Manage interfaces among aircraft, mission systems, software, hardware, data, networks, sensors, and test infrastructure; identify and drive resolution of integration issues
• Evaluate proposed capability changes for impacts to mission effectiveness, data requirements, cybersecurity, airworthiness, integration, test, certification, schedule, and risk
• Provide concise technical and programmatic recommendations to senior government, military, and industry stakeholders to support rapid acquisition, capability insertion, and lifecycle planning
• Support schedule, budget, resource, and risk-management activities for assigned EA-37B efforts

• Bachelor's in physics, engineering, systems engineering, computer science, aerospace, or a closely related technical discipline
• 10+ years of progressively responsible experience in technical program management, test and evaluation, systems engineering, data analysis, or airborne mission-system development
• An active Secret clearance is required
• Experience supporting complex Department of Defense airborne mission systems, electronic warfare or electronic attack systems, special-mission aircraft, RF communications, radar, or related capabilities
• Demonstrated ability to design and execute data-driven experiments, develop test objectives, collect and analyze mission data, and communicate results that inform program decisions
• Experience coordinating multi-disciplinary teams and managing competing technical, operational, schedule, and resource priorities
• Strong working knowledge of systems engineering, requirements development, interface management, integration planning, verification, and validation
• Proficiency with technical data-analysis tools such as Python, MATLAB, or comparable analytical and visualization tools
• Ability to communicate complex technical issues, risks, and recommendations clearly to senior stakeholders
• Ability to work effectively in classified environments and meet applicable security-clearance requirements

• Direct EA-37B, EC-130H Compass Call, or comparable airborne electronic attack flight-test experience
• Experience with operational test, developmental test, flight-test instrumentation, mission playback, telemetry, data fusion, or physics-based performance analysis
• Experience with Modular Open Systems Approach, Open Mission Systems, Universal Command and Control Interface, Government Reference Architectures, or open-interface integration
• Experience developing software tools that accelerate test-data processing, visualization, or mission analysis
