Configuration Manager

Fayetteville, NC In person Full-time

Location: Fayetteville, NC

The Opportunity

As a Configuration Manager, you'll lead and improve configuration management (CM) across an integrated set of simulation hardware, modeling components, and networked training systems. These systems support high-fidelity rehearsals and large-scale exercises for military units. You'll make sure configurations stay intact, baselines stay controlled, and changes follow a disciplined process across local and geographically dispersed systems for the full product lifecycle. You'll own the CM plan, manage hardware and system baselines, run the CM board, maintain accurate configuration status accounting, and lead configuration audits.

In this role, you'll develop and enforce CM processes and keep configurations under control. You'll find deficiencies and put corrective actions in place. You'll also track software licensing and versions across the simulation enterprise so that entitlements stay compliant and releases stay controlled. You'll work closely with multi-disciplinary engineers and program leadership to build configuration discipline into every phase of sustainment and upgrades.

You'll also represent the program's configuration changes to the broader requirements review board. You'll present proposed changes, explain their impact on cost, schedule, and capability, and keep approved requirements tied to controlled baselines.

You'll be a key member of a multidisciplinary engineering team that values clear communication, process discipline, adaptability, and a proactive approach to technical challenges.

Join us. The world can't wait.
