Responsibilities include aligning supply with demand, managing financial reporting and corrective actions, analyzing customer accounts and forecasts, defining organizational data requirements, coordinating product lifecycle transitions, and partnering with production control and supply chain to meet delivery commitments.

Verify missile flight hardware and propulsion systems against approved designs, manufacturing processes, aerospace standards, and mission-assurance requirements. Conduct technical reviews and milestone gates, assess nonconformances and root causes, oversee corrective actions, approve qualification and acceptance test procedures, witness critical testing, and coordinate supplier IPT activities. The role requires extensive DoD or missile-defense experience, expertise in AIAA and related aerospace standards, technical drawing interpretation, strong communication skills, and an active Secret clearance.

Develop and maintain SysML-based system architecture models for Missile Defense Agency programs. Ensure requirements traceability, integrate MBSE models with external tools and simulations, support technical baseline reviews, conduct interface and architectural trade studies, and maintain configuration-controlled model baselines. Collaborate with government leads, contractors, and multidisciplinary engineering teams while producing technical diagrams, documentation, and briefings.

Manage configuration and program data for Missile Defense Agency target and countermeasure programs. Responsibilities include administering SharePoint and integrated data environments, tracking data deliverables, supporting milestone reviews and configuration control boards, maintaining technical documentation, managing change requests, and overseeing lessons-learned databases. The role requires reviewing systems engineering documentation, coordinating stakeholders, and maintaining strict configuration-controlled environments within complex DoD programs.

Provides systems engineering analysis and scientific support for MDA missile defense capabilities focused on threat discrimination and lethal-object identification. Develops options for discrimination and electronic protection, evaluates technical performance and risks, supports requirements and concepts of operations, models electronic attack and protection, and creates technology maturation plans. Requires extensive radar and systems engineering expertise, an active Secret clearance, and eligibility for Top Secret/SCI access.

Designs, simulates, prototypes, integrates, and tests digital and analog electronic systems for small unmanned aircraft. Responsibilities include PCB architecture and layout, component selection, circuit board bring-up, embedded processor and sensor integration, troubleshooting, documentation, and fabrication and test procedures. The role collaborates cross-functionally with avionics, embedded systems, and RF teams, supports R&D projects, and may participate in flight testing.

Leads a portfolio of domestic and international UAS production programs from proposal through delivery and sustainment. Oversees 5–8 program and project managers, program schedules, budgets, pricing, contracts, technical performance, export compliance, staffing, and customer relationships. Drives proposal strategy, contract negotiations, operational improvements, and cross-functional execution while developing high-performing teams and ensuring on-time, on-budget delivery.
