Software Engineering Manager

The Command and Control, Battle Management, and Communications (C2BMC) program is a key component of the Missile Defense System. It is a vital operational system that enables the U.S. president, the Secretary of Defense, and combatant commanders at strategic, regional, and operational levels to plan ballistic missile defense operations, monitor the battle, and dynamically control networked sensors and weapon systems to achieve global and regional mission goals.

C2BMC supports layered missile defense capabilities that enable an optimized response to threats across all ranges and flight phases. It serves as a force multiplier by networking, integrating, and synchronizing autonomous sensor and weapon systems and operations, both globally and regionally, to improve performance. C2BMC is essential for all ground and flight tests that verify and demonstrate the current and future capabilities of missile defense systems.

The Integration and Test (I&T) Engineering Project Manager (EPM) will lead the I&T Resource Managed Area (RMA), directing all I&T commitments and ensuring that technical backlog items are prioritized, decomposed into executable epics and capabilities, and adequately staffed to meet schedule, cost, and performance objectives. As the primary technical authority for I&T across the C2BMC program, the EPM will ensure that engineering solutions, test plans, and system baselines align with the program’s overall goals and modern engineering practices.
