## Description

Performs technical planning, system integration, verification and validation, cost and risk, and supportability and effectiveness analyses for total systems. Analyses are performed at all levels of total system product to include: concept, design, fabrication, test, installation, operation, maintenance and disposal. Ensures the logical and systematic conversion of customer or product requirements into total systems solutions that acknowledge technical, schedule, and cost constraints. Performs functional analysis, timeline analysis, detail trade studies, requirements allocation and interface definition studies to translate customer requirements into hardware and software specifications.

The 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 guarantee that engineering solutions, test plans, and system baselines align with overall program goals and modern engineering practices. Responsibilities include developing and maintaining the I&T portion of the program schedule, cost estimates, and risk/opportunity registers; owning earned value management and control account responsibilities for the RMA; recruiting, selecting, training, and retaining a high?performing I&T workforce; managing work assignments, performance assessments, recognition, and disciplinary actions; and mitigating attrition to meet demand signals.

-Travel to development, testing, and operational sites may be required to oversee I&T activities, conduct audits, and represent the program in customer and partner meetings.
