About the role

Senior Technical Program Manager responsible for end-to-end planning, production, acceptance testing, and delivery of flight electronic assemblies for satellite constellations. Focuses on transforming PCBAs into tested units for spacecraft integration, across hardware, software, and AI&T domains.

Responsibilities

  • Own the complete delivery pipeline and schedule for fully tested, flight-ready PCBA units to AI&T for spacecraft vehicle integration.
  • Deliver complete, validated PCBA units to Hardware-in-the-Loop (HITL) testbeds to support Flight Software (FSW) development, verification, and mission simulations.
  • Drive planning, resource allocation, and schedule execution of Unit Acceptance Testing (UAT) for all flight avionics entering AI&T.
  • Track, analyze, and report UAT performance metrics—including schedule variance, test bed readiness, yield rates, technical performance, and risk posture.
  • Partner with engineering teams to establish, maintain, and execute PCBA release timelines across current and future satellite constellation blocks.
  • Drive end-to-end execution across EE design, PCBA fabrication, assembly, functional testing, and vehicle AI&T.
  • Track procurement, long-lead component acquisition, and assembly status for all custom PCBAs and associated mechanical enclosures/mounting hardware.
  • Identify, track, and drive resolution of supply chain bottlenecks, component obsolescence, lead time spikes, and test fallout issues.

Qualifications

  • 5+ years of experience in technical program management, engineering leadership, or hardware production management delivering complex electronic assemblies, electronics systems, or aerospace hardware.
  • Hands-on technical background in electrical engineering, computer engineering, embedded systems, or avionics testing.
  • Proven track record managing PCBA production lifecycles—from design releases and fab/assembly procurement through functional board bring-up and acceptance testing.
  • Demonstrated experience managing programs with a complex critical-path supply chain.
  • Familiarity with hardware/software integration environments, testbeds, or Hardware-in-the-Loop (HITL) simulators used for flight software development.
  • Familiarity with program management scheduling tools such as Smartsheets, Microsoft Project, or similar software.
  • U.S. Citizenship required (ITAR-restricted).
