About The Position

The FBM program needs a Project-Engineering-focused professional who will plan, schedule, integrate, and control the lifecycle of all technical data product that support war-fighter operations, missile-system assembly, test, and maintenance. The incumbent will act as the project engineer for data products, ensuring they are delivered on-time, on-budget, and to the required quality and security standards while synchronizing with operations, production, logistics, and government partners. Summary of key responsibilities for this position: · Assist with schedule development – update the master schedule for data-product streams (OPs, ODs, SWOPs, work instructions) and report status to the senior engineer. · Track funding basics – maintain simple cost and funding logs (MIPR, DSO) and provide routine variance data to the Associate Manager. · Support configuration control – managing change requests, help baseline revisions, and upload approved documents to the program’s SSP repositories. · Apply security and classification rules – verify, repose, and distribute CUI/COMSEC material according to NISPOM guidance under supervision. · Help drive process improvements – gather metric data (on-time delivery, defect count) and suggest tooling tweaks for S1000D, MAP/IMPs, or Apriso. · Drive continuous-improvement initiatives for promulgation processes, tooling (S1000D, MAP/IMPs, Apriso), and metrics (on-time delivery, defect density, rework). · Support for the SWS Facility, translating schedule changes into data product · Provide production-support coordination and long range planning for the SWS Facility, translating schedule changes into data product updates and ensuring the shop floor receives current, approved data. · Facilitate technical reviews and approvals (final product reviews) and prepare briefing packages for senior leadership and Navy customers as required.
