Integrated Project Engineer (IPE) for Agile & Flight Management (FM) Programs

The Integrated Project Engineer (IPE) for Agile & Flight Management (FM) Programs is a hybrid technical and program coordination role combining traditional project engineering leadership with Agile increment planning and execution. The role supports FM&C teams across fixed-wing and rotary-wing platforms by integrating engineering, program management, agile operations, contracts, finance, and domain experts to ensure predictable and efficient program execution.

This role serves as a central integrator responsible for synchronizing technical planning, agile increment events, project execution activities, and programmatic commitments. The IPE ensures alignment across engineering teams, Product Owners, EPAs, Program Chiefs, TPM/PM, and other stakeholders to support high‑quality avionics development.

What You Will Do:

• Support engineering cost, schedule, and performance commitments at the subsystem/WBS level.
• Collaborate with Program Chiefs and TPM/PM to maintain execution cadence and support technical decisions.
• Support CCB/ECB preparation and disposition activities.
• Coordinate bid inputs, SEER estimation data, and bid guide revalidations; support bid narratives with scope, risks, and opportunity assessments.
• Support milestone readiness activities through planning audits, peer review tracking, dependency verification, and execution reporting.
• Facilitate Increment (INCR) planning events, including kickoff preparation, planning structures, context materials, and readiness assessments.
• Work with EPA to prepare increment planning artifacts such as Objectives, Capacity Allocations, Sprint Loading, and Readiness dashboards.
• Manage INCR Planning Structure Boards and ensure Jira views, templates, and structures are updated each increment.
• Facilitate sprint planning: schedule ceremonies, manage Jira sprint setup/closure, validate story data, and maintain sprint‑level metrics.
• Coordinate with Product Owners, Program Chiefs, EPAs, and engineering leaders to ensure objective alignment and planning readiness.
• Produce increment metrics: weekly increment comparison pulls, hours‑per‑story‑point data, capacity updates, sprint statistics, and objective readiness reviews.
• Lead Agile/Lean improvement activities including INCR retrospectives and process refinement across engineering and program stakeholders.
• Manage SOW/IWA activities ensuring alignment between engineering tasks and contractual deliverables.
• Coordinate with EPA and Contracts on PO/PR workflows and invoice review.
• Support recurring reporting, staffing vs. loading analysis, budgeting alignment, and performance claiming expectations.
• Maintain program documentation including process flows, L5/L6/PO responsibility models, and agile planning workflows.
• Capture SME knowledge into documented, repeatable engineering and planning processes.
• Maintain onboarding materials and readiness resources for FM&C teams.
• Serve as SEER focal and lead annual bid guide revalidations.
• Lead Tech Renaissance meetings and track process improvement tasks.
• Support lessons learned activities and post‑execution evaluation processes.

Qualifications You Must Have:

• Typically requires a degree in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) and minimum 5 years prior relevant experience or an Advanced Degree in a related field and minimum 3 years of experience.
• Experience in engineering project coordination, Agile environments, or program planning.
• Experience with Jira and Agile pla
