BAE Systems is seeking an experienced Project Manager for an exciting opportunity to support the Air Force's acquisition of the next generation ICBM weapon system, known as the Sentinel ICBM Program. The Sentinel Program, formerly known as GBSD, is an enormous and complex Mega-Project that aims to replace the entire ICBM weapon system deployed across tens of thousands of square miles in five states. This project is one of the Department of Defense's (DoD's) most important acquisition efforts for the next decade, if not longer. It involves a 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. Additionally, it will provide a new command & control system, including an updated airborne launch capability, as well as a vast array of required support equipment specifically engineered to operate and sustain the new weapon system over the next 4-5 decades. The weapon system is anticipated to deploy over a nine-year period beginning in the late 2020s and remaining operational until at least 2075. This position will directly support the Sentinel Program's Command & Launch (C&L) Division as they acquire the weapon system command & control capabilities for the next generation ICBM. Areas of responsibility that fall under the C&L Team include weapon system command & control, ICBM nuclear codes/cryptography, ICBM targeting, nuclear command, control & communications (NC3) systems, ICBM command pathways, airborne launch control capabilities, actuation & mechanical systems, power distribution & endurance systems, and physical security systems. The C&L team member will be responsible for supporting the government customer in the review and assessment of the Sentinel prime contractor's designs, documentation, architectures, and Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) products related to weapon system command & control concepts and processes. This role will involve working directly with Air Force stakeholders in managing the integration of government-furnished equipment and property into the Sentinel weapon system design. The team member will also support the C&L Team with program status tracking, meeting support, cost control monitoring, and integrated master schedule (IMS) management. This position interacts with government customer staff and senior leaders in various defense organizations, as well as other Sentinel team partners from Federally-Funded Research and Development Centers (FFRDCs) and University Affiliated Research Centers (UARCs). Coordination and integration of actions with other program managers, engineers, logisticians, testers, and external agencies will also be a key part of this role.
