About The Position

Amentum is seeking a Systems Engineer Lead to support the Space Force Range Contract. This role involves serving as the Lead Systems Engineer (LSE) for assigned Long Term Range System (LTRS) subsystem(s), managing issues including risk, subsystem anomalies, and Diminishing Manufacturing Sources and Material Shortages (DMSMS) cases. The position requires developing out-year plans (spend plans) and providing input for Government funding to address subsystem needs. The role also provides project integration support from contract award through the final transition of Third-Party Developer (TPD) systems into the SFRC OM&S baseline. Responsibilities include supporting the development of acquisition documentation (SOO, SOW, PWS) for TPD procurements and assisting in Request for Proposal (RFP) development.
