  • Collaborate with government, industry, national laboratories, and federally funded research and development centers (FFRDCs) to assess critical technology needs.
  • Support program execution by tracking milestones, risks, schedules, and performance metrics for industrial base investments.
  • Prepare presentations and briefing materials for senior leaders, congressional engagements, and industry conferences.

Required Qualifications:

  • Must possess an active SECRET security clearance with the ability to obtain and maintain a TOP SECRET clearance.
  • Bachelor’s degree in engineering, computer science, or other related technical discipline.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience operating within the Office of the Secretary of War (OSW) or a similar senior, strategic-level staff environment.
  • Experience navigating the DoW acquisition lifecycle and the Planning, Programming, Budgeting, and Execution (PPBE) process to identify and mitigate industrial base risks.
  • Experience effectively briefing, interacting with, and providing counsel to senior military leaders, including Flag and General Officers.
  • Expertise in applying sound scientific, program analysis, and systems engineering concepts and methodologies to solve complex advanced manufacturing technical and programmatic challenges.
  • Experience with Industrial Base Analysis and Sustainment (IBAS), the Defense Production Act (DPA), or OSW Industrial Base Policy offices.
  • Extensive knowledge of microelectronics design, deployment, and sustainment for the DoD.
  • Experience with cloud infrastructure design, deployment, and management for engineering and simulation workloads.
  • Background in microelectronics technology development or monitoring DoD investments in this domain.
  • Experience leading cross-functional, multi-organization teams in a government or defense context.
  • Professional certification as a Project Management Professional (PMP), Certified Systems Engineering Professional (CSEP) or a recognized equivalent.

Form CC-305

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
