Credence has an immediate need for a Systems Engineering Configuration Manager to support Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) products and the technical performance for the CMFF program. This role develops, implements, and maintains systems engineering processes and documentation for PM PNT products, including Systems Engineering Plans (SEPs), configuration management plans, risk management plans, and integrated master plans.

The Systems Engineering Configuration Manager provides systems engineering, risk management, configuration management, integrated master scheduling, and program management support throughout the system development life cycle. This person will work with government stakeholders, product teams, platform representatives, and vendors to develop technical solutions, manage requirements, assess program performance, and support the integration of classified and unclassified PNT capabilities on Army platforms.

Responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

• Manage the systems engineering model and engineering tasks; prepare for engineering review boards, lead TIR scoring reviews and CCBs, review and validate ECPs, conduct configuration management, and review software patches and failure securing reviews.
• Develop and maintain systems engineering processes and documents, including Systems Engineering Plans, configuration management plans, risk management plans, DoDAF products, and integrated master plans. Coordinate deliverables with the PM PNT product integrated master schedule.
• Manage technical performance for the CMFF program, including requirements decomposition, software-intensive system management, system-of-systems integration planning, and Agile software development planning.
• Analyze, develop, derive, allocate, document, and track requirements for classified and unclassified PNT products.
• Support concept development, sensor and system design, architecture, modeling and simulation, and hardware, software, and network integration.
• Support integration of PNT products with client systems on Army platforms, including host-platform integration, test and evaluation, hardware and software validation, experimentation, and field demonstrations.
• Identify and manage technical and program risks. Evaluate interoperability, sustainment, operational benefits and constraints, and DOTMLPF impacts in accordance with DoD guidance and IEEE Standard 1220 principles.
• Assess improvements to existing products, applications, requirements, and materiel solutions, as well as emerging PNT and augmentation technologies, strategies, tactics, and training. Help ensure proposed solutions are achievable within program cost and schedule goals.
• Attend SSRs, SRRs, SFRs, PDRs, CDRs, PRRs, FCAs, and PCAs, including pre- and post-review activities. Participate in IPTs, working groups, and engineering meetings, and recommend engineering, testing, and other improvements.
• Create, review, and update engineering and acquisition documents to meet system requirements and program milestones. Provide input for staffing through PM PNT leadership and keep program briefings current.
• Provide technical input to cost estimates, Statements of Objectives, Statements of Work, Performance Work Statements, performance specifications, related solicitation documents, and proposal evaluations.
• Review technical data artifacts for acceptability, maintain product-to-data relationships, and manage databases supporting requirements tracking, product planning, systems engineering, and configuration management.
• Coordinate with government clients, product and platform teams, vendors, and external stakeholders. Assess vendor progress and advise the Assistant Product Manager on technical issues and solutions.
• Plan future technical enhancements for the ALTNAV program and collaborate with stakeholders on standard operating procedures for system health monitoring, failures, and mitigation.

Requirements

• Active DoD secret security clearance is required
• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering or Systems Engineering and at least three years of systems engineering experience supporting DoD systems; or Master’s degree in Engineering, Systems Engineering, or a closely related discipline and at least one year of systems engineering experience supporting DoD systems
• Experience developing or maintaining systems engineering plans, requirements documentation, risk-management artifacts, or configuration-management documentation
• Understanding of the systems engineering life cycle, including requirements, architecture, integration, verification, validation, and test and evaluation
• Ability to evaluate complex technical information and communicate clear recommendations to technical and program leadership
• Strong written, presentation, collaboration, and stakeholder-management skills

Salary Range: $100,000.00 to $150,000.00 annually. Actual compensation will be determined based on the selected candidate's experience, education, skills, and overall qualifications.
