What You'll Do

As a project engineer, the candidate will be responsible for managing complex, multi-discipline digital engineering implementations (both internal and subcontracted). May be assigned to support a specific Weapon Program for all of its digital engineering needs, including leading projects and/or matrixed to a single or multiple project manager(s) for the engineering effort. Ensures the Engineering organization's performance of the established scope of work and directs development and execution of a project/task technical work scope within budget and schedule. Approves all digital engineering deliverables and ensures that all technical requirements are considered and incorporated and that the technology is inserted during the appropriate phase of the Program for adoption and benefit.

The scope of projects that you will be expected to lead will focus on Digital Transformation efforts that are currently underway or planned for Pantex Mission Engineering. As the lead of Digital Transformation for Pantex Mission Engineering, you would apply System Engineering and Business Process Architecture concepts to develop solutions through cross-functional teams to solve complex engineering problems. Examples include implementing solutions that would migrate paper-based processes and design artifacts to electronic work-flows, strengthen configuration management, and leverage electronic, data-driven solutions to improve data-sharing with counterparts across the nuclear weapons complex and increase our ability to aggregate data and perform tracking/trending to monitor and address system health issues. You should expect to interface with professionals from all Departments within Pantex Mission Engineering, Program Integration, Production/Operations, IS&S, etc. Your interfaces with IS&S will help to maintain, streamline, and standardize requirements for software and hardware solutions ultimately strengthening the IT infrastructure for Mission Engineering at Pantex. You should also expect to engage complex-wide initiatives that are ongoing related to the Digital Transformation of the Nuclear Weapons Complex.
