What are the responsibilities and job description for the Configuration Engineer (2026-0121) position at Acclaim Technical Services?
Acclaim Technical Services, founded in 2000, is a leading cyber operations, intelligence solutions and operations, network infrastructure, engineering and business enablement and enterprise operations company supporting a wide range of U.S. Federal agencies. We are an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) company, which is uncommon within our business sector. We see this as a significant strength, and it shows: ATS is consistently ranked as a top workplace among DC area firms and continues to grow.
We are currently recruiting a Configuration Engineer with TS/SCI w/ Poly to join our team working in Chantilly, VA. In this role you will support our federal partners to enhance national security.
The Configuration Manager is responsible for establishing and enforcing end-to-end configuration control across a global program, spanning on‑prem/virtualized deployments, cloud services, and supporting infrastructure and networks. This role owns configuration baselines and standards (systems, environments, country/site configurations), change control and release readiness artifacts, and the toolchain that enables repeatable builds and deployments (e.g., GitLab, CI/CD pipelines, repositories, IaC where applicable). The Configuration Manager ensures traceability from requirements to deployed configuration, prevents drift through audits and automated checks, maintains authoritative documentation and as-built records, and coordinates with engineering, operations, security, and field teams to deliver compliant, reliable changes without disrupting mission operations.
