Software Product Manager - Level 4

Standard Job Description

Lockheed Martin Aeronautics. Be More Than You Can Imagine.

Advanced Electronic Warfare (EW) capabilities enable F-35 pilots to locate and track enemy forces, jam radars and disrupt attacks with unparalleled effectiveness. Advanced avionics give the pilot real-time access to battle space information with 360-degree coverage and an unparalleled ability to dominate the tactical environment. Data collected by sensors on the F-35 will immediately be shared with commanders at sea, in the air or on the ground, providing an instantaneous, high-fidelity view of ongoing operations - making the F-35 a formidable force multiplier while enhancing coalition operations. This system allows F-35 pilots to reach well-defended targets and suppress enemy radars.

The F-35 Mission Data organization is in need of a Software Product Manager (SPM) to support the cross functional engineers developing the Common Reprogramming Tool (CRT). The CRT will effectively provide our customers with a more efficient, robust approach to rapidly reprogram Mission Data Files (MDFs) for F-35 mission operations. The selected candidate will be responsible for working with teams to ensure software development processes are properly defined and adhered to and educating teams in software development processes. The selected candidate will be responsible for collection and analysis of team metrics, generation and review of labor estimates, support of release execution and verification, and participation in development milestone reviews.

Candidate must be able to obtain a clearance and must process for a company-sponsored secret clearance prior to start.
