  • Program & Delivery Oversight

  • Provide technical guidance and executive-level support to program teams across contracts.
  • Ensure programs are delivered with technical excellence, cost efficiency, and compliance with FAR, DFARS, and CMMC requirements.
  • Oversee engineering practices and methodologies, driving continuous improvement and standardization across the enterprise.
  • Innovation & Technology Integration

  • Identify and implement emerging technologies (AI / ML, automation, cloud, digital engineering, cybersecurity) into client and internal solutions.
  • Promote an innovation-driven culture to improve operational effectiveness and mission success.
  • Establish partnerships with vendors, academia, and industry peers to expand Makwa Global’s technical capabilities.
  • Leadership & Team Development

  • Lead and mentor engineering, solutioning, and technical professionals across the organization.
  • Support workforce development by fostering training, certification, and career growth opportunities.
  • Promote diversity, equity, and inclusion within technical teams.
  • Requirements :

    Education & Experience

  • Bachelor’s degree in engineering, Computer Science, or related technical field required; Master’s degree preferred.
  • 12+ years of progressive experience in IT, engineering, or solution architecture, with at least 5 years in a leadership or director-level role.
  • Strong background in solutioning and program delivery for federal government contracts (DoD, DoS, DHS, or other agencies).
  • Experience leading proposals and solution design for competitive procurements.
  • Skills & Competencies

  • Must have prior experience working directly with Department of Defense (DoD) agencies , with proven knowledge of federal contracting processes, compliance, and mission support.
  • Deep expertise in IT infrastructure, systems engineering, cybersecurity, and emerging technologies.
  • Strong knowledge of federal proposal processes (Shipley or similar) and compliance frameworks (FAR, DFARS, CMMC, NIST).
  • Exceptional communication and executive presence, with the ability to influence technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Strong project management, problem-solving, and organizational skills.
