Position Description

ENSCO Inc is a diverse engineering and technology company that provides engineering, science and advanced technology solutions that guarantee mission success, safety, and security to governments and private industries worldwide.

ENSCO is seeking a Release Train Engineer (RTE) to support the MILSATCOM Systems Engineering, Integration, and Test (MSEIT) contract at Space Systems Command (SSC). This role is responsible for coordinating Agile Program Increment (PI) execution across multiple independently contracted software development teams supporting U.S. Space Force mission systems.

Unlike traditional commercial Agile environments, the development teams are separately contracted directly to the Government, requiring the RTE to operate primarily through coordination, influence, alignment, and stakeholder engagement rather than direct organizational authority.

ENSCO serves as a systems engineering and integration (SE&I) partner to the Government and supports overall technical execution, cross-team coordination, and enterprise integration activities. The RTE plays a central role in helping align development priorities, stakeholder objectives, operational constraints, and enterprise modernization goals into executable Program Increment scopes and synchronized delivery plans.

The program uses a streamlined SAFe-oriented model focused primarily on Program Increment planning, cross-team synchronization, dependency management, and release coordination rather than rigid adherence to all SAFe ceremonies or governance constructs.

This position is on-site at Colorado Springs, CO or El Segundo, CA. Some of the job responsibilities include but are not limited to:

• Program Increment Coordination: Lead planning, coordination, and execution activities associated with Program Increment (PI) events across multiple independently contracted development teams
• Scrum of Scrums Leadership: Facilitate Scrum of Scrums and related synchronization activities to identify dependencies, blockers, delivery risks, and integration concerns across teams
• Scope Alignment: Work with Government stakeholders, operational users, architects, and development teams to help shape and recommend executable PI scope aligned with mission priorities and enterprise objectives
• Priority Balancing: Help reconcile development team priorities, stakeholder requests, operational needs, technical constraints, and enterprise direction into practical delivery plans
• Cross-Team Coordination: Maintain active coordination among software teams, SE&I personnel, cyber organizations, operational stakeholders, and Government leadership
• Dependency & Risk Management: Track cross-team dependencies, integration risks, operational impacts, and release readiness concerns affecting PI execution
• Delivery Visibility: Develop and maintain status dashboards, delivery metrics, milestone tracking, and PI readiness products for leadership and stakeholders
• Stakeholder Engagement: Interface with SSC, operational stakeholders, mission users, OA organizations, and contractor teams to maintain alignment throughout the PI lifecycle
• Agile Facilitation: Support Agile execution and continuous improvement while maintaining flexibility appropriate for mission and operational realities
• Delivery Synchronization: Coordinate with Software Delivery Leads, operational stakeholders, and integration teams to ensure PI outputs remain aligned with operational delivery timelines and constraints

Qualifications Required
• Bachelor’s degree in engineering, computer science, or related field
• 8+ years of experience supporting Agile delivery, software program coordination, systems integration, or technical program management within DoD environments
• Experience coordinating activities across multiple software development teams and stakeholder organizations
• Familiarity with Agile delivery methodologies, including Scrum, SAFe, Kanban, or related frameworks
• Experience facilitating Program Increment (PI) planning, Scrum of Scrums, release synchronization, or similar cross-team Agile coordination activities
• Strong understanding of software delivery lifecycles and cross-team dependency management
• Experience operating effectively in matrixed or federated organizational structures without direct authority over development teams
• Strong communication, facilitation, negotiation, and stakeholder management skills
• Experience using Jira, Confluence, and related Agile collaboration tools
• Ability to balance operational priorities, stakeholder expectations, and technical realities in fast-moving delivery environments
• Proficient in Microsoft Office products, such as Excel, Word, and PowerPoint

• Experience working within SE&I or Government integration organizations supporting multiple contractors
• Familiarity with DevSecOps environments, CI/CD-oriented delivery models, or software factory concepts
• Experience supporting operational acceptance (OA) coordination or mission release synchronization
• Understanding of cloud-native architectures, Kubernetes-based environments, or modern software platform ecosystems
• Exposure to AI-enabled mission systems or data-driven operational platforms
• SAFe®, Scrum Master, PMP, or related Agile/program management certifications
• Experience helping transition programs from large release cycles toward more continuous delivery approaches
• Familiarity with software delivery metrics, throughput optimization, or Agile portfolio prioritization approaches
• Experience supporting heterogeneous software development environments with differing security and operational constraints

Whatever your decision, it will not be considered in the hiring process or thereafter. Any information that you do provide will be recorded and maintained in a confidential file.

As set forth in ENSCO, Inc.’s Equal Employment Opportunity policy, we do not discriminate on the basis of any protected group status under any applicable law.

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.

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.
