CACI is looking for a
Senior Program Manager
to join our NSIS (National Security & Innovative Solutions) division, supporting our Photonics team-- we are expanding! With a core technology base that includes high-speed electro-optics, fiber optics, and high-power lasers, our laser communications technology is helping NASA provide high-definition video from the International Space Station, and to explore asteroids 250 million miles away. Our other optical technology can also help scientists discover biohazards; support intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) missions; and protect soldiers from explosive devices. Do you have a passion for innovation? Apply now and join the team!
What You'll Get to Do:
You will be responsible for leading one or more large Photonics programs, working with development teams to formulate, propose, capture, and execute new Photonics programs, and move them into production. The emphasis will be on Engineering Development & Manufacturing (EMD) development programs that will initially produce small quantities of first-of-a-kind hardware, and then require the leadership ability to transition these programs into higher volume production. Problems faced are frequently complex and require broad-based solutions that impact areas outside of immediate responsibility. The Sr. Program Manager is responsible for program decisions, schedule, and Profit & Loss for the programs. The Sr. Program Manager for this position will be the primary interface to customers that are extremely technical, and the ability to effectively communicate complex technical ideas, with the support of the technical team, will be critical to success. This position will also require the ability to implement evolving programmatic, design and quality best practices within the team, and the ability to communicate with and influence executive leadership. Some programs are expected to have follow-on phases with volume production, and the position will also include a responsibility to work with production teams in adjacent organizations to Design For Manufacturing (DFM), and to support the transition to production. A part of the role also includes participation in the Photonics organization's development of tactical and long-term strategic growth plans. A successful person in this role would contribute to improvement of entire processes or systems within the programs and the organization, leveraging on personal past experiences and in-depth understanding of program management best practices that improve our competitive position in the marketplace.
You'll Bring These Qualifications:
Seven or more years of experience in a Program Management or other technical leadership role with a focus on the design, development, qualification, and manufacture of new products.
Thorough understanding of and experience in PM principles and best practices, including scheduling, budget control, and risk management.
Experience in successfully taking an electronics or optical system through an integrated product development process from product development to manufacture.
Bachelor's or Master's degree in an engineering, science, or business discipline.
Proficiency with Microsoft Project or other scheduling tool
Exemplary verbal/written communication skills required for interactions with all levels of personnel within the organization, as well as vendors, suppliers, customers, etc.
Experience working on DoD or other similar Government programs
Experience managing programs to EVMS standards.
Experience managing programs over $30M in contract value.
These Qualifications Would be Nice to Have:
PMP certification
Active TS clearance is highly desired
Experience in a Program Management or other technical leadership role that involved the development of hardware deliverables that specifically included lasers, fiber optics, opto-electronics, or other photonic technology
