Senior Configuration Management Specialist
STR is focused on delivering National Defense capabilities by driving mission-focused strategies to develop advanced technology systems enabling products and solutions focused on achieving the customer vision. Our programs deliver sustainable, reliable, and cost-efficient capabilities focused on end-customer needs that function in operationally relevant environments and timeframes. We consider the entire lifecycle of the solution, from conceptualization and architecting, through development to deployment, while leveraging novel technologies to deliver first-of-a-kind systems. STR is hiring a Senior Configuration Management (CM)/Quality Assurance (QA) Specialist to support the development, implementation, and administration of procedures and associated infrastructure, and directly support programs to ensure CM and QA is applied to deliver high-quality products. You’ll drive excellence and innovation across a dynamic portfolio—from prototyping through full-rate production—supporting programs with national and global significance In this role, you will work with stakeholders (e.g. organizational leadership, program teams) to identify and develop procedures that support the range of work STR does, spanning multiple technical disciplines including mechanical, electrical, and software. This requires establishing scalable and tailorable approaches that are appropriately applicable to programs spanning bench-top prototypes to fielded systems deployed in rugged environments. These processes should be rooted in industry best practices but defined for STRs range of program types. You will apply your expertise to directly support programs by administering CM and QA procedures as an “independent” expert but through an informed approach by being aware of program drivers. This includes, but is not limited to, participating in or owning Engineering change processes, supporting Change Control Boards (CCBs) and Failure Review Boards (FRBs), and conducting inspections and audits as they relate to mechanical, electrical, and software work products and artifacts. To be successful, you should have experience in CM and QA applied in the Defense industry within a portfolio that spans prototype through production. You should have experience operating within the Arena PLM, SolidWorks PDM, and Git tools. You need to be detail-oriented with at least 5 years of directly applicable experience supporting efforts as outlined above. What you will do: Work with stakeholders to develop and implement CM and QA related procedures and identify associated metrics to support continuous improvement. Context for these efforts will be span domains including, but not limited to, mechanical, electrical, and software. Administer and optimize PLM/PDM environments (including Arena and SolidWorks PDM) to increase program efficiency and data integrity.
