What are the responsibilities and job description for the Systems Integration Group Project Manager 4 position at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory?
Protecting U.S. residents and visitors is among our nation’s highest priorities. As adversaries gain access to sophisticated technologies and materials, the threats grow more dynamic and complex—from cyber and nuclear to chemical and biological weapons of mass effect and other forms of terrorism. The PNNL national security mission employs our researchers, tools, and technologies to play a key role in advancing the ability to identify and secure nuclear materials, detect weapons of mass effect, manage nonproliferation treaties, secure our nation's borders, and protect critical infrastructures. PNNL’s scientific discovery and capabilities—rooted in innovative theory, methods, algorithms, and tools—are enabling stronger, more resilient technologies and systems to safeguard national security. Coupled with decades of radiological and nuclear materials expertise, advanced computing and threat analysis capabilities, and a broad fundamental science base, we are identifying and countering emerging threats that have significant impact at home and around the globe.
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory’s Systems Integration group excels in project management, systems integration, and technology deployment for complex national security projects. We specialize in deploying and sustaining technologies, including detection systems essential for nuclear and radiological security missions, both domestically and internationally. Our diverse staff collaborates with stakeholders to understand capability requirements and deliver customized solutions.
The Systems Integration Group, within the Physical Detection and Deployment System (PDSD) Division of the National Security Directorate, is seeking a highly experienced Senior Project Manager.
