Description

The Digital Modernization Sector at Leidos currently has an opening for a Configuration Manager. We’re on the hunt for a bold, detail-driven Configuration Manager to take full ownership of hardware, software, and documentation baselines on our mission-critical program. 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 the engineering and operations efforts.

• Own the CMDB—track, maintain, and safeguard the integrity of every configuration item.

• Facilitate, Organize and manage Change Control Boards (Engineering Review Boards, Schedule Review Boards, Change Control Boards, etc.) to ensure that the board charters are being properly executed, board actions are tracked/managed, and processes enforced on the program.  

• 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.

• Proactively identify and report on end-of-life hardware/software to ensure full awareness of equipment and software approaching end of life.

• Conduct configuration audits.

• Utilize ServiceNow, Remedy, and SharePoint to streamline workflows and maintain operational harmony.

• Active TS/SCI clearance.

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Information Systems, or related technical field.

• 8-12 years of relevant experience (or 6-10 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 to include Remedy and ServiceNow.

• Familiarity with government standards.

• Exceptional communication, documentation, and stakeholder engagement skills.

• Demonstrated success in enterprise or supply chain configuration management.

• Mastery of CMDBs and change management processes.

• 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

At Leidos, we don’t want someone who "fits the mold"—we want someone who melts it down and builds something better. This is a role for the restless, the over-caffeinated, the ones who ask, “what’s next?” before the dust settles on “what’s now.”

If you’re already scheming step 20 while everyone else is still debating step 2… good. You’ll fit right in.
