Aalyria is a leading technology company that supplies laser communications technology and temporospatial software-defined networking platforms to the aerospace industry. Backed by Battery.
About the role
Aalyria's Spacetime platform orchestrates highly dynamic aerospace networks using a temporospatial Software Defined Networking (SDN) approach, managing not just routing but the physical link topology and lower-layer configuration underneath it.
What they're looking for
- Active TS/SCI clearance in good standing. TS/SCI with polygraph is strongly preferred given the access levels this role requires
- 5+ years of experience in technical program management, engineering program management, or a closely related role delivering complex technical platforms, ideally for U.S. Government or defense/space customers
- Demonstrated technical depth: the ability to read and critique a design document unaided, and to engage engineering teams on architecture, scaling, and failure-mode tradeoffs as a peer, not a translator
- Proven ability to influence without authority and interface confidently with senior government and customer stakeholders
- Experience managing complex project financials, resource tracking, or strict contractual reporting requirements (T&M, FFP, or cost-type contracts)
- U.S. citizenship (required to hold and maintain the clearance level above)

We're looking for a Technical Program Manager to own execution on one of our most sensitive customer programs, work that requires an active TS/SCI clearance , with a polygraph strongly preferred given the access levels involved. You'll be the linchpin between Aalyria's engineering teams and a cleared government customer, driving technical tradeoffs directly rather than simply tracking them. Engineering will look to you to make sequencing, scope, and architecture-adjacent calls, and to represent program status and risk with complete accuracy to customer stakeholders who may not always have full visibility into every technical detail.
This is a role for someone who can operate independently inside a classified environment, hold their own in a room with Staff or Principal engineers, and get things done through influence rather than authority.
