System Configuration Manager

QED Systems, LLC, is currently recruiting a System Configuration Manager (Hardware & Software)
Specialist to join our team at APG, MD to support our customer,
Project Manager Intelligence Systems & Analytics (PM IS&A), TITAN
, a state‑of‑the‑art, AI‑enabled ground station for the U.S. Army.

• Establish and lead the configuration management (CM) program for the U.S. Army's Tactical Intelligence Targeting Access Node (TITAN) system.
• Provide rigorous CM to manage its complex and deeply integrated hardware, software, and firmware baselines through the entire program lifecycle, fundamental to maintaining the integrity of the TITAN system.
• Implement and enforce disciplined CM processes to ensure all changes are systematically identified, evaluated, and documented, guaranteeing that the deployed system is always in a known and approved state.
• CM Program & Plan Development:
  Develop, implement, and maintain the program's Configuration Management Plan (CMP), detailing unified processes for managing the complete system baseline (hardware, software, firmware, and documentation).
• Configuration Identification (CI):
  Lead the identification and documentation of all Hardware CIs (HWCI) and Computer Software CIs (CSCI). Establish and control the system's Functional, Allocated, and Product Baselines.
• Integrated Change Control:
  Manage a single, integrated change control process. Facilitate the Configuration Control Board (CCB), ensuring every change request is evaluated for its full system‑level impact across both hardware and software.
• Software CM & Build Management:
  Oversee the version control of all software source code, build scripts, and deployment packages. Ensure all software builds are repeatable, documented, and traceable to the approved baseline.
• Configuration Status Accounting:
  Maintain a precise repository that accounts for the status of all CIs. Generate reports that provide a holistic view of the current system configuration, including software versions and hardware part numbers.
• Configuration Audits:
  Plan and lead Functional Configuration Audits (FCAs) and Physical Configuration Audits (PCAs) to verify that the as‑built system (both hardware and loaded software) conforms to its approved documentation.
• CM Repository & Tools:
  Manage and administer the program's CM tool suite, ensuring it can manage and relate hardware parts lists, software repositories (e.g., Git), and all associated documentation.

• Detail‑oriented with excellent technical, verbal, and written communication skills.
• Direct experience in design, integration, configuration, and analysis of complex software systems, military electronics, computer networking, and digital and graphic display systems (hardware systems).

• In‑depth knowledge of configuration management principles and standards, such as EIA-649 and MIL-HDBK-61.
• Demonstrated experience managing a formal CCB process and processing ECPs for both hardware and software changes.
• Proficiency with industry‑standard CM and product lifecycle management (PLM) tools.
• Direct experience with software version control systems (e.g., Git) and build management in an Agile or Dev Ops environment.
• Familiarity with the TITAN program or similar complex C5
  
  ISR / AI‑enabled systems.
• Professional certification in Configuration Management (e.g., NDIA certified Configuration and Data Manager, CMII certification).

• ACTIVE CLEARANCE LEVEL
  
  REQUIRED:
  
  Top Secret w/SCI eligibility.

• Bachelor’s degree required. Degree in Electrical, Electronic, System, Software or Computer Engineering;
  Computer Science or related field.
• A minimum of fifteen (15) years of related work experience is required, to include:
• At least ten (10) years of experience related to software configuration management, process development and management.
• At least eight (8) years of experience managing and/or directing a software configuration management team.
• Master’s degree may substitute three (3) years of experience.
