About this role
Role Overview
Serve as the Release Train Engineer (RTE) and operational leader for the enterprise LogIT program, overseeing execution across multiple integrated lines of effort delivering enterprise logistics information capabilities.
Lead and coordinate a large Agile Release Train composed of systems engineering, development, modeling, and mission assurance teams, ensuring synchronized delivery of program objectives across multiple projects and phases.
Drive execution of the full systems engineering lifecycle across the contract, from requirements development and architecture through integration, verification, validation, and deployment.
Facilitate Program Increment (PI) planning and execution, ensuring alignment of priorities, resources, and deliverables across teams and stakeholders.
Ensure disciplined execution of Agile ceremonies across the release train, including daily stand-ups, sprint events, and weekly coordination meetings, providing oversight and facilitation to maintain alignment and effective communication across all teams and role levels.
Orchestrate delivery of phased capabilities, MVPs, and incremental releases, ensuring integration across projects within the overarching contract.
Coordinate and manage engagement with multi-service military stakeholders, Joint Program Office (JPO), and OSW leadership to align requirements, priorities, and delivery outcomes.
Leverage Agile lifecycle management tools (e.g., JIRA and Confluence) to manage backlogs, track dependencies, maintain program transparency, and support documentation and collaboration across teams.
Apply data-driven Agile metrics (e.g., velocity, burn-up/burn-down, flow metrics, and predictability measures) to monitor performance, inform decision-making, and drive continuous improvement across the release train.
Remove organizational and technical impediments to enable efficient team execution and continuous improvement.
Establish and maintain program-level metrics, performance indicators, and reporting structures to monitor delivery health and risk.
Ensure integration of mission assurance activities, system modeling efforts, and development outputs into a cohesive delivery pipeline.
Support systems engineering governance by ensuring requirements traceability, architecture alignment, and verification and validation practices are consistently applied.
Foster collaboration across cross-functional teams to enable seamless integration of technical and operational capabilities.
Support program leadership in planning, risk management, and stakeholder communications.
Promote Agile best practices and continuous improvement across the organization.
