We are seeking a First\-Line Manager (FLM) to lead the Weapon Systems Missile group and drive excellence across engineering execution, program performance, and team development.

The Work

As the First\-Line Manager for Weapon Systems Missile team, you will have full leadership accountability for the design and execution of Aegis Weapon System (AWS) capabilities and associated Weapon Control System (WCS) software components across CSL and legacy baselines. You will lead a team of approximately 20 systems engineers supporting complex systems engineering and integration activities. This role blends deep technical oversight with program execution discipline and people leadership.

Technical and Engineering Responsibilities:

• Oversee systems engineering activities supporting both in\-service (legacy) and CSL baselines.

• Ensure work scope is accurately represented in GRID and reflected properly in the IntegratedMaster Schedule (IMS).
• Oversee EVMS tracking, ensuring variances are meaningful, documented, and addressed.
• Ensure employees complete required training and maintain compliance with program and organizational standards.

Who You Are

You are a technical leader who understands both systems engineering depth and program execution discipline. You are comfortable operating across requirements development, detailed design, integration, and test—and equally comfortable leading teams and driving performance.

You bring clarity to complex programs, balance cost and schedule constraints with engineering integrity, and build high\-performing teams through coaching, feedback, and thoughtful staffing decisions. You understand that strong leadership means accountability—for the product, the program, and the people.
