• Review and assess Engineering Change Proposals (ECPs), Requests for Change (RFCs), deviations, and waivers for impacts to cost, schedule, performance, cybersecurity posture, and sustainment.
• Maintain and manage functional, allocated, and product baselines, ensuring consistency between approved requirements, design documentation, software artifacts, and as-built configurations.
• Maintain traceability between JCIDS-derived requirements, technical baselines, and verification and validation artifacts.
• Control, review, and track technical data deliverables including specifications, drawings, interface control documents, software documentation, and technical manuals.
• Ensure technical data deliveries comply with contract requirements, data rights provisions, delivery schedules, and applicable government standards.
• Support Functional Configuration Audits (FCA), Physical Configuration Audits (PCA), system readiness reviews, and sustainment reviews, including preparation, tracking, and closure of action items.
• Coordinate closely with Program Managers, Systems Engineers, logisticians, cybersecurity personnel, and contractors to maintain disciplined configuration control across hardware, software, and cyber systems.
