Kapta Space develops electrically steerable radar imaging technology for space, with an emphasis on Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and Earth observation. Backed by Space Capital.
About the role
Kapta is seeking a Senior Technical Program Manager to drive execution of hardware and software development programs from design through qualification and delivery. You will own the integrated schedule, budget, and risk posture for your program(s), serving as the primary link between engineering and external customers.

What they're looking for
- Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Physics or related technical discipline
- PMP or equivalent program/project management certification
- 8-10 years of direct experience in technical program/project management on hardware development programs, ideally in aerospace, defense or space systems
- Demonstrated ability to manage complex, multidisciplinary programs (electrical, mechanical, RF and/or software) through full lifecycle: design, integration, test, delivery
- Experience with schedule and risk management tools (Smartsheet, JIRA, or similar)
- Familiarity with US Government contracting environments (FAR/DFARS, OTA)
