Configuration Manager

Job Description

Job Description

Synovix is seeking a Configuration Manager for a defense development program we are supporting in Huntsville, AL. This program offers the opportunity to support the clean sheet design of a new defense product from its earliest development stages through integration, testing, and eventual production. The program has the potential to transition into production much faster than traditional government acquisition timelines. For engineers who want to expand their capabilities, this is a rare opportunity to participate in the complete development lifecycle.

What You Will Do

• Facilitate and document Configuration Control Boards, Technical Review Boards, and Change Boards.
• Establish, maintain, and audit configuration-management libraries for documents, software, and hardware items.
• Plan and coordinate preparation, review, and release of engineering drawings, production specifications, schedules, and contract modifications to ensure compliance with contract requirements.
• Administer change processes, including change-order creation, authorization, status tracking, and integration with engineering, quality, and mission-assurance functions.
• Manage the full lifecycle of change packages—from initiation through closure—verifying implementation and updating status records.
• Perform configuration status accounting, generate metrics, and produce reports on baseline maturity and item status.
• Conduct configuration audits and verify correct marking of documents per contract and corporate guidance.
• Execute contract and supplier data-requirement activities, including planning, scheduling, delivery, and maintaining Supplier Statements of Work and Supplier Requirements Documents.
• Support development, enhancement, and maintenance of configuration-management and data-management tools.
• Provide technical configuration liaison with senior internal and external stakeholders, deliver presentations and coordinating cross-functional resolution of configuration issues.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelors degree from an accredited university and 5-10 years of relevant experience.
• Must be a US Citizen with an active DoD Secret Clearance, at time of application, current and within scope, with an investigation date within the last 6 years.
• Must have the ability to obtain and maintain Top Secret Clearance and Special Access Program (SAP) approval within a reasonable period of time, as determined by the company to meet its business needs.
• Proficient with Microsoft Office Suite and SharePoint.
• Understanding of DoD contracts and Contract Data Requirements List (CDRL) requirements.

Preferred Qualifications

• Knowledge of configuration-management principles and best practices, including standards such as EIA-649-1, MIL-HDBK-61, and GEIA-859.
• Experience developing and maintaining program plans, process documentation, and configuration-management tools.
• Proficiency with configuration-management data tools such as Atlassian Jira, Confluence, and Tableau.
• Exceptional organizational, communication, and interpersonal skills with the ability to interface across all levels of the organization.
