## About the role

You will work daily with systems, spacecraft, and ground engineers, and directly with your government program office. You need enough technical depth to challenge an estimate, recognize a risk before it shows up in a status report, and hold a credible programmatic conversation with a customer without an engineer in the room.

## What they're looking for

- 5+ years managing government programs in aerospace, defense, or a comparable regulated environment
- Direct experience executing against government agreements — OTAs, FAR/DFARS-based contracts, SBIR/STTR, or task order vehicles — including deliverable management and modifications
- Track record carrying a single program through a full lifecycle, not just coordinating across many
- Track record building and maintaining an integrated master schedule that engineering actually uses, not one that exists for reporting
- Experience as a customer-facing program point of contact, including running formal reviews with real entry/exit criteria, action tracking, and closure
- Demonstrated ability to deliver in a matrix organization, holding a program together when the engineers doing the work report through a different chain
