The Mission Release Train Engineer operates the mission lane of the cross-mission execution system for assigned mission teams. This role ensures that mission plans, dependencies, critical-path segments, and milestone readiness evidence remain current and connected. You will sanitize mission plan data, maintain integrated execution plans in Azure DevOps, and facilitate mission breakouts to capture committed outputs. Key responsibilities include managing dependency records, compiling readiness evidence for Go/No-Go reviews, and routing mission-level impediments through defined escalation paths. You will utilize Azure DevOps, Power BI, Confluence, Microsoft Project, and Excel to monitor execution signals. The role supports the development of intelligent systems for autonomous construction sites, focusing on physical AI, sensing, and edge computing to enable machines to perceive environments and make informed decisions in dynamic jobsites.
Sanitize mission plan data by resolving duplicates, stale dates, and broken links with record owners.
Maintain the mission lane of the integrated execution plan and reconcile all records to Azure DevOps.
Prepare missions for integrated planning by confirming requirements, ownership, capacity, and dependencies.
Manage dependency records for internal and external partners, including status, aging, and next checkpoints.
Monitor the critical-path register and provide early warnings on float consumption and recovery triggers.
Compile entry and exit evidence for mission milestones to support Go/No-Go readiness reviews.
Route mission-level impediments to accountable owners and escalate systemic patterns to the Senior RTE.
Supply reconciled mission feeds covering plans, dependencies, and exceptions to program reporting and stakeholders.
What we're looking for
Knowledge of agile and scaled-agile delivery, release planning, Milestone readiness, and risk management across interdependent technical teams.
Ability to translate Objectives and Milestones into a credible mission-level plan with sequencing, dependencies, checkpoints, and early recovery triggers.
Ability to report dependencies, conflicts, and date status accurately while surfacing problems to the correct owners.
Ability to monitor execution signal across multiple teams using critical-path and dependency views.
Ability to review and verify execution data for accuracy and reconcile Azure DevOps records with plans and reports.
Ability to run focused working sessions and hold stakeholders to commitments without direct authority.
Experience coordinating delivery across multiple interdependent engineering or technical teams as an RTE, program manager, project manager, or senior Scrum Master (preferred).
Working knowledge of Azure DevOps, Power BI, Confluence, Microsoft Project, and Excel (preferred).
