Performance & Continuous Improvement

Establish and enforce project management standards, tools, methodologies, and best practices.
Identify bottlenecks in testing workflows and implement process improvements to accelerate test execution and reduce operating costs.
Drive technical innovation while maintaining compliance with NASA and Amentum requirements.

Stakeholder Engagement

Perform as the primary technical point of contact for NASA EC4 Branch clients, translating high‑level mission goals into actionable engineering work orders and staffing plans while meeting or exceeding customer expectations.
Communicate effectively with fellow managers and project managers to resolve technical, schedule, and resource issues.
Participate actively on the leadership team, supporting senior managers with strategic planning and recruitment efforts.

Required Qualifications

Typically 5–10 years of related experience, including 5+ years supervising large technical teams and complex facility operations.
