Specifically, the position will be responsible for, but not limited to:
  • Leading a team to support the government customer in the creation, review, and assessment of Weapon Systems Structure acquisition planning, cost, schedule, and performance, in order to meet Sentinel requirements and timelines.
  • Validating and verifying infrastructure requirements, tracking status, and guiding teams through design.
  • Advising the customer on infrastructure-related risks and opportunities that may influence strategic leadership decision-making.
  • Supporting infrastructure project programming, planning, and design efforts by guiding the team to develop schedules, collect requirements, and gain project approval.
