Sentinel Launch Execution Team Program Manager

Job Description

BAE Systems is seeking an exceptional Program Manager for an exciting opportunity to support the Air Force's acquisition of the next generation Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) system, known as the Sentinel ICBM Program.

The Sentinel Program (formerly known as GBSD) is an enormous and complex Mega-Project replacing the entire ICBM weapon system deployed across tens of thousands of square miles in five states. Without a doubt, Sentinel is one of the Department of Defenses (DoDs) most important acquisition efforts for the next decade. It includes complete refurbishment or replacement of more than five hundred aging Minuteman III ICBM facilities to secure and support a newly designed, technologically-advanced ballistic missile. It will also provide an entirely new command & control system (including an updated airborne launch capability) as well as vast array of required support equipment specifically engineered to operate and sustain the new weapon system over the next 4-5 decades. This is a long-term project with the weapon system anticipated to deploy over a nine-year period beginning in the late 2020s and remaining operational until at least 2075.

Job Description:
This position will directly support the Sentinel Programs Launch Execution Branch as they acquire the weapon system command & control capabilities for the next generation ICBM. Duties of the Lunch Execution project manager include providing expert advice and support to Sentinel program mangers throughout the acquisition cycle. Areas of responsibility that fall under the Launch Execution Branch include:

• Weapon system command & control (e.g., missile crew launch console and command data processing equipment, etc.).

• ICBM nuclear codes/cryptography (i.e., securing the nuclear launch codes and assuring confidentiality, integrity, and authenticity of the critical commands).

• ICBM targeting (i.e., weapon system processing of the strategic missile aim points).

• Nuclear command, control & communications (NC3) systems (i.e., national communications systems used for receiving Presidential nuclear orders in the launch control center).

Specifically, this C&L team member will be responsible for supporting the government customer in the review, and assessment of the Sentinel prime contractors designs, documentation, architectures, and Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) products in order to meet Sentinel acquisition requirements and timelines. This team member will assist in the day-to-day operations of the Launch Execution Team including status tracking, meeting support, contract performance monitoring, and integrated master schedule (IMS) management. The position interacts with government customer staff and senior leaders in the Office of the Secretary of Defense, Headquarter Air Force, Air Force Global Strike Command, the National Security Agency, U.S. Strategic Command, as well as other Sentinel team partners from Federally-Funded Research and Development Centers (FFRDCs) and University Affiliated Research Centers (UARCs). This team member will also coordinate and integrate actions with other program managers, engineers, logisticians, testers, and external agencies.

Pursuant to Government contract, this position requires US Citizenship status.
