• Collaborate with program managers, engineers, project controls personnel, government customers, industry partners, and academic organizations to support integrated planning and execution.

• Prepare schedule metrics, status reports, executive briefings, and analysis to support program reviews and decision-making.

• Support management of program risks, opportunities, and mitigation planning through integrated schedule analysis.

• May provide supervisory or management support for scheduling personnel and project controls activities.

• BS/BA

• Minimum of 15 years of applicable professional experience, including 13–15 years of direct aerospace, research and development, or government program scheduling experience.

• Demonstrated expertise in developing and managing Integrated Master Plans (IMP) and Integrated Master Schedules (IMS) for complex programs.

• Extensive experience with resource-loaded scheduling, schedule integration, and project controls methodologies.

• Advanced knowledge of probabilistic schedule risk assessment, schedule health analysis, and critical path methodology.

• Strong understanding of ANSI/EIA-748 Earned Value Management System (EVMS) principles and their application to schedule, cost, and technical performance.

• Advanced proficiency with Microsoft Project, Primavera P6, Acumen Fuse, and related scheduling and analytical software.
