About the role

Senior Technical Program Manager focused on building and measuring quality systems, cost-of-quality, and cross-functional accountability to tie quality outcomes to program cost, schedule, and delivery in a complex hardware production environment.

Responsibilities

  • Build and own the mechanisms that connect incoming quality, in-process defects, root cause, and cost impact into a closed loop that drives decisions
  • Own cost-of-quality trending, closed-loop resolution rate, and continuous improvement velocity measured in cost and cycle time
  • Drive cross-team resolution across quality engineering, production, supply chain, and design when quality issues emerge
  • Own schedule and financial performance of every quality-driven decision on the program
  • Build KPIs that connect operational quality metrics to program-level cost, schedule, and delivery outcomes
  • Drive qualification decisions with cost and schedule data, ensuring quality gates accelerate production rather than bottleneck it
  • Leverage quantitative models (statistical process control, classification, causal analysis, predictive defect modeling) to identify patterns before they become systemic
  • Prepare technical documentation, analysis reports, and briefings for internal teams, customers, and government stakeholders
  • Maintain reproducible analysis pipelines using version control, scripting, and scalable workflows

Qualifications

  • 5+ years in technical program management, quality engineering, or quality systems roles in complex hardware production environments
  • Demonstrated ability to build quality systems and cost-of-quality frameworks from scratch, not just maintain existing ones
  • Experience driving cross-functional resolution of quality issues spanning engineering, production, and supply chain
  • Technical depth in manufacturing processes sufficient to challenge root cause analysis and validate corrective actions
  • Experience interfacing with government quality oversight (DCMA or equivalent)
  • Comfortable building or interpreting quantitative models to inform quality and cost decisions
  • Familiar with version control, scripting, scalable workflows, and reproducible analysis practices
  • Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance
