## Description

The Technical Lead will be responsible for coordinating software development and integration efforts across multiple projects and platforms. This person will work closely with program managers, customers, and engineering teams to understand requirements, determine what technical work needs to be completed, establish the best approach, and coordinate resources to ensure deliverables are completed on schedule. The Technical Lead will oversee engineers assigned to different workstreams and ensure responsibilities, priorities, and timelines are clearly established. As systems move through different stages of development and testing, this person will coordinate new functionality, integration activities, technical changes, and customer requirements to ensure the final product meets expectations. This is not strictly a project management position. The Technical Lead needs a strong software background and will participate in developing technical solutions and perform hands-on software work as
needed. The environment utilizes Jira, Confluence, Bitbucket, GitLab, DOORS, UML-based requirements, and configuration management processes.
