About The Position

Omitron is seeking a Configuration Manager to support the CROWN effort in Colorado Springs, CO. This role owns configuration management across the CROWN lifecycle, from establishing CM planning and configuration identification through baseline management, change control, configuration status accounting, verification, and audit. The Configuration Manager is responsible for ensuring CROWN's hardware, software, network configurations, technical documentation, and associated configuration items remain controlled, traceable, reproducible, and auditable throughout the system lifecycle. This role requires someone capable of building and owning CM structure where it does not yet exist and maintaining that discipline within an evolving, Agile-driven technical environment. The ideal candidate can establish configuration baselines, operate a Change Control Board (CCB), maintain configuration status accounting, control changes across hardware and software components, and coordinate with Omitron and Government stakeholders to ensure configuration integrity throughout development, deployment, operations, and sustainment. The Configuration Manager will work closely with systems engineering, network engineering, software, cybersecurity, installation, operations, logistics, and program management personnel to ensure that the approved configuration accurately reflects what is designed, tested, deployed, and operating in the field.
