Technical Program Manager

Technical Program Manager Job Locations US-DC-Washington, DC ID 2026-14577 # of Openings 1 Overview We're looking for a Technical Program Manager to lead the deployment and evolution of RAPTR, an enterprise Modeling and Simulation (M&S) Platform, for a DHS customer. You'll be the senior technical owner of the program: bridging hands-on engineering execution with senior government leadership, mitigating technical and programmatic risk, and making sure the capabilities we ship directly support mission outcomes. This position requires the ability to obtain a CBP Background Investigation; U.S. citizenship is required. This role requires deep expertise in cloud platforms, federal compliance environments, and M&S systems, plus the ability to coordinate complex development efforts and align senior stakeholders. You'll move quickly in an environment that emphasizes building, deploying, and iterating in parallel, communicating clearly, driving consensus, fostering strong team collaboration, and owning the end-to-end solution lifecycle with the customer. RAPTR sits within LMI's Chief Technology Office. The culture is more startup than traditional government contractor; we move fast, solve problems in design spikes rather than scheduled reviews, and care more about outcomes than process. That said, we're building for users who need reliability and trust, so craft and attention to detail matter. As Technical Program Manager, you'll work daily with the RAPTR platform lead, engineering team, product manager, and stakeholders. You'll have real influence over how RAPTR capabilities land in a real federal mission environment.
