Software Release Management: Collaborate with Application Leads and testing teams to ensure Agile process alignment and schedule compliance for software releases.
Process Improvement & Automation: Analyze and optimize CM tools and processes through continuous improvement initiatives. Develop scripts to automate deployment, build, and testing tasks.
Documentation and Reporting: Prepare reports on configuration management activities, build/test status, and release readiness for management and stakeholders.
Metrics Management: Work closely with the Program Manager to develop and maintain meaningful monthly and quarterly CM metrics. Generate Technical Performance Metrics (TPM) reports to support program performance tracking.

Quality Assurance Support:

Ensure compliance with program and company-established processes and procedures through process and product audits.
Support CMMI-DEV activities and appraisal readiness.
Generate Monthly Status Stoplight Reports (MSSR) and assist with quarterly QA metrics reporting.

Qualifications

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or related field (or equivalent experience).
5+ years of experience in software configuration management; experience in QA support preferred.
Experience working in Agile software development environments.
Proficiency with TFS or similar version control systems, build automation tools (e.g., Jenkins, Maven, Gradle), and scripting (PowerShell, Python, or JavaScript).
Experience with DevSecOps practices and CI/CD pipelines.
Strong understanding of software development methodologies (Agile, Waterfall).
Familiarity with CMMI Level 3 process areas (e.g., CM, PPQA, MA, VER, PR).
Excellent organizational, documentation, and communication skills.

Preferred Qualifications:

Experience with automated testing.
