  • Maintain configuration status accounting, including versioning, baselines, and audit trails.
  • Provide regular CM reporting to program leadership.
  • Ensure accuracy and version control of system architecture documents, ICDs, network diagrams, software builds, and operational technical manuals.
  • Conduct configuration audits (functional and physical) to validate the alignment between documentation and fielded C2ISR systems.
  • Coordinate with engineers, cybersecurity teams, system integrators, test teams, and logistics personnel to maintain configuration integrity.
  • Support integration, testing, deployment, and sustainment activities through disciplined CM practices.
  • Maintain CM repositories and tools.
  • Ensure compliance with DoD and program-specific CM policies, standards, and lifecycle processes.

Minimum Qualifications

  • Ability to travel worldwide, including to remote or austere locations. Individual trips may extend up to two months, with the possibility of multiple trips per year.
  • Strong verbal and written communication skills with the ability to communicate effectively with technical and non-technical personnel.
  • 5+ years of configuration management experience supporting ISR, SATCOM, or mission support operations.
  • Experience with DoD or intelligence community configuration management practices.
  • Familiarity with MIL-HDBK-61A, DoD 5000-series, ISO 10007, or related CM standards.
  • Understanding of systems engineering principles, especially for distributed C2ISR systems.
  • Experience with software and hardware version control, baseline management, and technical documentation.
  • Ability to work in a secure environment and coordinate across multidisciplinary technical teams.
  • Strong communication skills for documenting processes and facilitating change control boards.

Desired Qualification
  • Experience supporting SOCOM, CENTCOM, AFRICOM, TRANSCOM, Space Force, or other Combatant Command environments.
