  • Partnering with the sponsor and Chief Engineer to define new study directions and opportunities.
  • Reporting program status, issues, risks, and successes to customers and upper management through regular reporting mechanisms.
  • Transforming customer directives into proposals, contract actions, and funding with the Business Lead.
  • Coordinating with Program and Information Security staff to secure the necessary facilities and capabilities for program execution.
  • Identifying staffing and capability needs to meet customer deliverables and collaborating with management to address these needs.
  • Providing technical contributions such as modeling, testing, analysis, and experimental design to one or more sub-study efforts.

Qualifications Required

  • An advanced degree (MS or PhD) in a relevant STEM discipline (e.g., Physics, Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering).
  • A minimum of five (5) years of experience managing or leading DoD or Intelligence Community programs for US Space Force or other National Security Space entities.
  • An active DOE Q clearance (or equivalent) and the ability to obtain and maintain an SCI clearance designation.
  • Proven ability to communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical audiences, including upper management, in written and presentation formats.

Preferred Qualifications

We desire candidates with:

  • Ten (10) years of experience in program or project management, particularly on high-security classified programs.
  • Certification in project management (PMP or equivalent).
  • Certification in Systems Engineering/Technical Management.
  • Experience managing projects with budgets ranging from $50k to $1-5M.
