About the Team
The Sensors Division within STR focuses on the development and analysis of advanced sensor systems in the RF, acoustic, and electro-optical domains. This includes the design and development of novel sensors and advanced information processing techniques from ideation to prototype implementations. The Subsea and Seabed Systems (SSS) Group develops and delivers advanced undersea sensor and signal processing systems related to intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) and counter-ISR applications.
The Role
The SSS Group is seeking a Lead Program Manager with a highly technical, undersea warfare background to manage a portfolio of programs focused on future undersea systems. This portfolio spans concept generation and prototype development with the goal that programs will continue into low-rate initial production (LRIP) or production. As such, we are looking for applicants with experience traversing that span of technology readiness and an ability to adaptively scale process. In this role you will lead small, highly capable, multidisciplinary teams of researchers, scientists, and engineers across STR campuses, coordinating electrical and mechanical design, software development, system construction, integration, testing, and field execution to meet cost, schedule, and performance objectives on innovative, complex, and challenging national security programs.
A central responsibility is the financial planning and execution of fast-paced, complex programs: developing credible budgets and resource plans, maintaining current forecasts, and making timely cost, schedule, and staffing decisions as technical priorities evolve. Your areas of specific focus will also include building and executing programmatic baselines, including personnel, deliverables, and subcontractor/contract manufacturer management plans while anticipating risks, resolving resource, security, and contracting challenges, and meeting or managing customer, sponsor, and leadership expectations.
A successful candidate will have recent and significant program manager experience building fieldable systems and a working knowledge in several of the following areas: undersea warfare, sonar systems, ocean engineering, modeling and simulation, test and evaluation, hardware design, software architecture, uncrewed underwater vehicles, resource management, signal processing, and/or communications. This position requires competency in leading and managing multidisciplinary teams, briefing senior leadership, cultivating positive, collaborative, and productive work environments, and a strong proficiency in all aspects of program management. Strong interpersonal, communication, mentorship, and peer-leadership skills are also required.
