The posting

Amentum is seeking a seasoned professional to serve as a Project Integration Manager. This position is based in China Lake, CA. The Project Integration Manager is an exciting role that supports overarching project planning, scheduling, coordination, management, and execution in support of the U.S. Navy’s launch test facilities Research and Development (R&D) program. This R&D program is a top priority for our nation and supports both U.S. Navy Submarine and Surface Ship weapons system capability testing.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead cradle-to-grave engineering project planning, management, and execution in support of U.S. Navy Submarine and Surface Ship weapons systems.
  • Lead planning and execution of a quick-turn design-build-certify-integrate projects.
  • Develop and maintain the integrated project plans, including scope, schedule, budget, staffing, procurement, design maturity, test readiness, certification, delivery, and integration milestones.
  • Coordinate project execution across mechanical design, drafting, electrical design, data acquisition, project engineering, systems engineering, test, safety/certification, and customer stakeholders.
  • Drive early definition and closure of project fundamentals, including team structure, funding path, interface ownership, technical authority path, certification approach, minimum viable test program, and delivery expectations.
  • Establish and manage the project's critical path, with particular focus on design maturity, long-lead procurements, instrumentation/DAQ approach, fabrication lead times, and integration readiness.
  • Lead regular project status reviews, risk reviews, action tracking, interface coordination, and decision forums.
  • Manage technical, schedule, cost, and interface risks associated with changing suit design data, uncertain environments, and late-breaking certification or integration requirements.
  • Ensure project documentation, design artifacts, certification products, interface agreements, risk posture, and delivery records are maintained at an appropriate level.
  • Escalate issues early when technical uncertainty, resource gaps, funding delays, or external interface dependencies threaten the project's ability to meet delivery and integration commitments.

Required Qualifications:

  • Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Engineering Management, Project Management or closely related technical field. Minimum 8-12 years of experience in U.S. Navy weapon system or aerospace/defense engineering project management may be substituted in lieu of degree requirements.
  • Minimum 8-12 years leading technical projects involving hardware design, build, test, certification, and delivery.
  • Experience managing rapid-turn or schedule-constrained aerospace, defense, flight hardware, test article, ground support equipment, or vehicle integration projects.
  • Strong technical literacy across mechanical design, electrical/avionics interfaces, instrumentation, test planning, hardware certification, and integrated system delivery.
  • Demonstrated ability to lead multidisciplinary teams through ambiguous early project definition while maintaining execution momentum.
  • Experience building and maintaining integrated schedules, risk registers, action trackers, staffing plans, and project status products for technical leadership and customer stakeholders.
  • Ability to manage interface-heavy projects involving multiple organizations, evolving requirements, and external customer dependencies.
  • Experience coordinating design reviews, test readiness reviews, certification readiness, hardware delivery, and integration planning.
  • Ability to identify when a project requires systems engineering discipline, project engineering ownership, formal requirements closure, or additional technical authority engagement.
  • Strong communication skills, including the ability to translate technical uncertainty into clear schedule, cost, risk, and decision impacts.
  • Demonstrated ability to operate with urgency while preserving sound engineering judgment and disciplined configuration control.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Masters Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Engineering Management, Project Management or closely related technical field.
  • Minimum (12) years of experience in U.S. Navy weapon system project management to include Vertical Launching Systems (VLS), Trident Missile Systems, and SSGN weapons systems.
  • Experience supporting flight hardware, flight-like test articles, mass simulators, structural test articles, payload integration, or instrumented hardware.
  • Experience coordinating data acquisition, telemetry, and instrumentation.
  • Experience working with various industry engineering organizations and/or federal customers.
  • Experience managing projects with compressed execution windows, evolving requirements, and coordinated requirements.
  • Experience leading teams where design, procurement, test, certification, and integration activities must overlap due to schedule constraints.

Security and Clearance:

  • Must be able to obtain and maintain a US Government Secret Security Clearance. Please note US Citizenship is required to obtain and maintain a security clearance.
