CACI is looking for a Program Manager to join our Spectrum Superiority Line of Business, supporting our Optical & Photonic Systems team -- we are expanding! With a core technology base that includes high-speed electro-optics, fiber optics, and high-power lasers, our laser communications technology is helping NASA provide high-definition video from the International Space Station, and to explore asteroids 250 million miles away. Our other optical technology can also help scientists discover biohazards; support intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) missions; and protect soldiers from explosive devices. Do you have a passion for innovation? Apply now and join the team!

Responsibilities:

You will be responsible for leading one or more mid-sized Photonics programs, working with development teams to propose, capture, and execute new Photonics programs and move them into production. We have positions open for our Engineering Development & Manufacturing (EMD) development programs as well as production programs. Problems faced are somewhat complex and may require broad-based solutions that impact areas outside of immediate responsibility. The Program Manager is responsible for program decisions, schedule, and profit & loss for the program. The Program Manager is the primary interface to customers, and the ability to effectively communicate will be critical to success. This position will also require the ability to implement evolving programmatic, design and quality best practices within the team, and the ability to communicate with and influence leadership. Many programs either have, or are expected to have follow-on phases with volume production, and the position will include working with production teams to Design For Manufacturing (DFM), and transition to high volume production. A successful person in this role will contribute to improvement of processes within the programs and the organization to improve our competitive position in the marketplace.

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in an engineering, science, or business discipline.
  • Experience with Microsoft Project or other scheduling tool
