Job Description Description Are you ready to challenge the norm and redefine configuration management? We’re on the hunt for a bold, detail-driven Configuration Manager to take full ownership of hardware, software, documentation, baselines, and contract deliverables across high-stakes, mission-critical programs. If you thrive in secure environments, excel at orchestrating complex systems, and have a passion for driving operational excellence—this is your next big move. Primary Responsibilities - Design and implement robust configuration management strategies across enterprise and supply chain ecosystems. - Own the CMDB—track, maintain, and safeguard the integrity of every configuration item. - Serve as the voice of logic and rigor on the Change Management Board, ensuring only vetted changes are approved. - Lead end-to-end configuration processes: identification, change control, status accounting, and audits. - Manage documentation and baselines with precision—capturing, versioning, and tracing every requirement, design, and software artifact. - Monitor and deliver all contract obligations with meticulous recordkeeping and on-time execution. - Proactively identify end-of-life hardware/software and coordinate seamless transitions. - Conduct configuration audits and support software quality assurance reviews. - Utilize ServiceNow, SAP, and SharePoint to streamline workflows and maintain operational harmony. Basic Qualifications - Active TS/SCI with Polygraph clearance. - Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Information Systems, or related technical field. - 12-15 years of relevant experience (or 10-13 years with a Master’s degree). - Deep understanding of configuration management frameworks (CMII, ISO 10007, or equivalent). - Proven expertise in change control and engineering documentation management. - Proficiency in CM tools such as Windchill, DOORS, Jira, etc. - Familiarity with government standards (MIL-STD-973, EIA-649). - Exceptional communication, documentation, and stakeholder engagement skills. - Demonstrated success in enterprise or supply chain configuration management. - Mastery of CMDBs and change management processes. - Hands-on experience with ServiceNow, SAP, and SharePoint. - Impeccable attention to detail, fearless documentation discipline, and a mindset that challenges convention. - Strong track record in managing baselines and technical documentation. - Experience tracking and delivering contract requirements with precision. Preferred Qualifications - Configuration Management certification (e.g., CMII, CMPIC, or equivalent). - Experience supporting large-scale government or defense programs. - Proven leadership in Configuration Control Boards (CCBs). - Background in risk management and continuous process improvement Come break things (in a good way). Then build them smarter. We're the tech company everyone calls when things get weird. We don’t wear capes (they’re a safety hazard), but we do solve high-stakes problems with code, caffeine, and a healthy disregard for “how it’s always been done.” Original Posting:October 14, 2025 For U.S. Positions: While subject to change based on business needs, Leidos reasonably anticipates that this job requisition will remain open for at least 3 days with an anticipated close date of no earlier than 3 days after the original posting date as listed above.
