Primary Responsibilities:

  • Lead execution of projects, managing cost, schedule, performance, and risk across multiple technical domains and phases (harvesting, prototyping, test, depot planning).
  • Develop and manage integrated master schedules (IMS), work breakdown structures (WBS), and program management baselines in alignment with contractual milestones.
  • Coordinate technical tasking and reviews across IPTs.
  • Manage government and subcontractor relationships, serving as primary interface for all programmatic matters, including milestone reviews and performance reporting.

  • Support strategic business development by identifying opportunities to expand adjacent radar sustainment and modernization programs.
  • Provide strategic thinking towards technical innovation and customer engagement.
  • Maintain ongoing communication with team, suppliers, customers, and leadership.
  • Ensure compliance with government program standards, data rights management, cybersecurity, and technical baseline control processes.

Essential Job Functions:

  • Create and maintain program plans, cost models, and resource forecasts.
  • Communicate and support internal and external resources (staff, facilities, and equipment).
  • Create project milestone plans, schedules, and contract work breakdown structures as appropriate.
  • Responsible for project budget, schedule, monitoring, and completion of goals and milestones in accordance with approved plans.
  • Conduct recurring reviews of technical progress, financial, and risk mitigation plans.
  • Oversee development of program artifacts including CONOPS, digital engineering deliverables, and sustainment documentation.
  • Engage directly with government stakeholders to ensure timely resolution of issues, alignment with shipyard schedules, and program objectives.
  • Coordinate across Kratos internal divisions and external OEMs to ensure seamless execution and technical continuity.
  • Travel as needed to government sites, radar facilities, and Kratos integration locations (up to 25%).

Required Experience and Qualifications:

  • BS/BA degree
  • Minimum of 15 years of experience in defense programs, with at least 3 years in program or technical leadership roles.
  • Demonstrated experience managing complex Department of War hardware-intensive projects (e.g., radar, EW, or C5ISR systems).

  • U.S. Citizenship required.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Active DoD Secret clearance.
  • Prior experience supporting NSWC Crane, PEO IWS, or NAVSEA programs.
