  • Help identify program risks and issues and monitor mitigation efforts with support and guidance from the leadership team.
  • Track labor and material costs incurred to date and assist in maintaining a predictable integrated master schedule.
  • Support contract negotiations and customer communications by coordinating meetings, documenting requirements, and ensuring follow-up on action items.
  • Responsible for tracking all customer, internal and regulatory requirements.
  • Collaborate successfully with team members across the organization in a way that fosters trust, recognizes and celebrates others, and reinforces the company values.

Requirements

  • This position requires access to export-controlled information. Employment is contingent upon the applicant being a U.S. person as defined by 8 U.S.C. § 1324b(a)(3).

Experience:

  • 5 years or more of relevant experience (including pursuit of relevant higher education); ideally within a startup or technology company.

Skills:

  • Working knowledge in the following technical areas outside of program management: systems engineering, test engineering, optics, quality engineering, system integration and product development lifecycle.

Startup Mindset:

  • You're creative, flexible, and eager to wear multiple hats.
  • You're passionate about building systems from the ground up and comfortable with ambiguity and change.
