The Navigation IPT Lead is responsible for planning, budgeting, executing, and progress reporting for a team of navigation, software, systems, and test engineers. The primary goal is the development, enhancement, and sustainment of navigation functions for the latest M‑code capable embedded GPS/Inertial Navigation System within a safety‑critical software development framework. The Navigation IPT Lead ensures the integrity of navigation algorithms and functions, adherence to safety‑critical development standards, and the timely delivery of engineering work products necessary to support airworthiness certification. The Navigation IPT Lead interfaces with the Program Manager, Product Line Chief Engineer, System Architect, other engineering team leads, as well as the customer.

This position is contingent upon the successful completion of an active DoD Secret Clearance.

What You’ll Get to Do:

• Lead the development of new navigation functions and the update of existing functions within a safety‑critical software development framework (e.g., DO‑178C)
• Oversee the planning and execution of navigation algorithm and software functionality
• Work closely with the Product Line Chief Engineer to develop navigation product roadmaps and lead implementation of those roadmaps within the Navigation IPT
• Ensure the IPT’s scope is executed within cost and schedule targets
• Setup and conduct Scrum/Agile ceremonies (PI planning, sprint planning, sprint reviews, sprint retrospectives, PI reviews)
• Identify and mitigate execution risks to navigation and navigation‑software development on the program
• Determine the staffing needed and work with functional managers to adjust staffing within multiple scrum teams
• Present portions of the execution plan, technical approach, and progress to the customer community and senior leadership
