Technical Program Manager

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.

Leveraging our mission-ready technology and solutions, proven expertise in federal deployment, and strategic relationships, we enhance outcomes for the government, efficiently and effectively. With a focus on agility and collaboration, LMI serves the defense, space, healthcare, and energy sectors—helping agencies navigate complexity and outpace change. Headquartered in Tysons, Virginia, LMI is committed to delivering impactful results that strengthen missions and drive lasting value.

Responsibilities

• Serve as the primary technical lead for RAPTR’s deployment, coordinating various development efforts to align with customer requirements, constraints, and mission priorities
• Translate mission needs into RAPTR architectures, workflows, and M&S solutions that integrate with existing systems and cloud environments
• Combine deep technical expertise with strong stakeholder management to align leaders behind efficient solution approaches
• Partner with stakeholders to integrate capabilities into existing cloud, data, and enterprise IT environments
• Develop and maintain technical documentation: system architectures, model interaction diagrams, workflow specifications, and solution design narratives
• Provide technical guidance and advisory support to personnel and partner contractors
• Ensure compliance with cybersecurity, data governance, and other risk management requirements
• Provide clear, regular status updates to senior leaders and LMI management
• Manage program deliverables, financials, schedules, and team performance across the full solution lifecycle

Qualifications

What We’re Looking For

• Ability to obtain a CBP Background Investigation; U.S. citizenship required
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Software Development, or a related technical field, M&S experience, or equivalent professional experience
• 7+ years of experience in software engineering, solution architecture, and cloud deployments, including security, cyber, and data infrastructure
• Demonstrated experience implementing or managing M&S platforms in enterprise or federal mission environments
• Experience interfacing between hands-on technical teams and senior stakeholders, creating delivery roadmaps from scratch
• Strong familiarity with federal standards and requirements for digital, cloud, cyber, and data systems
• Experience working directly with federal stakeholders and partner contractors
• Ability to clearly communicate complex technical concepts to non-technical audiences
• Hands-on experience across AWS, Azure, and on-premises environments

What Will Set You Apart

• Master’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related technical field
• Experience supporting CBP, DHS, or another DHS component
• Familiarity with DHS 4300A and CBP-specific cybersecurity and data governance policies
• FedRAMP authorization or assessment experience
• Experience leading delivery of operational federal solutions where mission constraints (latency, availability, security) materially shape design
• Relevant certifications: Security+, Cloud+, etc
