Title:

Technical Team Lead

Belong. Connect. Grow. with KBR!

We at KBR share one goal: to improve the world responsibly as a company of innovators, thinkers, creators, explorers, volunteers, and dreamers.

About the Position:

The Technical Team Lead is a senior OMES III role for a technically credible leader who leads from the floor, not just from a desk. Responsible for the full scope of day-to-day I&T operations, this individual directly supervises a team of engineers and technicians owning task assignment, resource coordination, and schedule execution across all active integration and test work. As the primary accountability point for I&T facility execution, the Lead ensures every task is properly assigned, resourced, and driven to completion in alignment with program requirements, safety standards, and customer expectations. This is not a purely managerial role; the ideal candidate brings 10+ years of hands-on I&T experience and has grown into leadership without leaving their technical roots behind. The position is located in Greenbelt, MD.

Responsibilities:

• Serve as the on-site technical lead overseeing all hardware integration, test execution, and verification activities at the I&T Facility.
• Provide technical direction to engineers and technicians, ensuring work is performed correctly, safely, and per approved procedures.
• Review and approve test procedures, work instructions, and technical documentation prior to execution.
• Serve as the primary technical liaison to program leadership, the customer, and other functional organizations.
• Support design reviews, TRRs, and post-test debriefs as the I&T technical representative.
• Identify and resolve technical issues during integration and test activities, escalating to program management when warranted.
• Maintain the facility in a safe, organized, and operationally ready state at all times.
• Develop and refine facility SOPs to reflect current best practices and program lessons learned.
• Directly supervise the I&T team — owning task assignment, workload distribution, and day-to-day performance oversight.
• Conduct regular one-on-ones, performance check-ins, and annual evaluations per company HR processes.
• Identify training and development needs; coordinate appropriate certifications and cross-training opportunities.
• Onboard new team members to facility procedures, safety requirements, and program expectations.
• Foster a team culture grounded in technical excellence, accountability, safety, and continuous improvement.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS:

• Bachelor’s degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related engineering field.
• Ten or more years of technical experience in aerospace integration, test, systems engineering, or a closely related engineering discipline.
• Demonstrated prior experience in a formal or informal technical leadership role, including task assignment, team coordination, or direct supervision of engineers or technicians.
• Hands-on experience working in an Integration and Test (I&T) facility, test lab, or hardware assembly and verification environment.
• Experience developing, reviewing, or executing test procedures, test plans, and test reports for mechanical, electrical, or systems-level hardware.
• Working knowledge of configuration management practices and engineering documentation standards (e.g., discrepancy reports, non-conformance reports, as-run procedures).
• Demonstrated ability to manage competing priorities, develop work schedules, and coordinate resources across multiple concurrent tasks.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills; able to effectively interface with customers, program leadership, and cross-functional teams.
• Familiarity with safety practices and hazardous operations controls applicable to aerospace test and integration environments.
• Prior experience supporting NASA J programs, organizations, and I&T facility operations.
• Experience leading teams in a government contractor environment, with direct personnel management responsibilities.
