• Advise program leadership on engineering solutions that balance cost, schedule, and performance goals.
• Identify technical risks in contract execution and recommend mitigation strategies.
• Offer engineering input on acquisition strategies to ensure solutions meet operational requirements.
• Work with cross-functional teams to integrate engineering expertise into lifecycle sustainment, risk management, and system development.

Required Qualifications
• Current Top-Secret clearance with SCI eligibility prior to selection.
• Master’s degree in a STEM field (engineering preferred).
• 10+ years of engineering experience in systems engineering, technical program execution, or defense acquisition.
• Strong familiarity with DoD and Air Force environments, including classified settings.
• Experience in program/project management and government acquisitions is highly desirable.
• PMP or DAWIA certification is a plus, but not required.
