We are seeking a Program Manager with a strong engineering background to lead complex embedded systems programs supporting defense and space applications. This role requires a hands-on technical program leader who can work closely with engineering teams, understand technical tradeoffs, and drive disciplined execution across cost, schedule, scope, risk, compliance, and customer commitments.

The ideal candidate thrives in a fast-paced, resource-constrained environment and is comfortable operating with limited information while bringing structure, urgency, and accountability to complex programs. This individual will work cross-functionally with engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, quality, contracts, finance, business development, customers, and executive leadership to ensure successful program delivery.

This role is well suited for someone who has experience in a startup, growth-stage company, or small-company environment where program managers are expected to wear multiple hats, solve problems proactively, and drive outcomes without waiting for perfect information.

• Lead the planning, execution, and delivery of programs for defense and space customers.
