Description

HawkEye 360 is seeking a Technical Program Manager (TPM) to drive complex, cross-functional engineering initiatives from concept through delivery. You will partner closely with software engineers, algorithm developers, data/ML teams, DevOps, and product managers to plan and orchestrate programs that build, scale, and improve our signal processing and analytics capabilities. Your background in software engineering and data processing/algorithm development enables you to engage deeply with technical decisions, clarify trade-offs, and keep teams aligned on outcomes.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in ambiguous environments, adapts quickly, and brings the core TPM toolkit-structured planning, crisp communication, proactive risk management, and delivery excellence.

As the Senior Technical Program Manager, your main responsibilities will be:

• Program Ownership & Delivery
  • Own end-to-end delivery of multi-team initiatives spanning processing pipelines, algorithm development, data products, and platform reliability.
  • Define program scope, success metrics, dependencies, and milestones; maintain clear program plans and dashboards.
  • Drive regular planning, sequencing, and resource alignment; keep stakeholders informed with concise updates and transparent trade-offs.
• Technical Execution & Decision Support
  • Translate product goals and technical requirements into executable plans; facilitate design reviews and decision records.
  • Partner with engineering leads to unblock teams, manage interfaces and contracts, and ensure non-functional requirements (scalability, reliability, security) are embedded.
• Risk, Quality & Governance
  • Identify and mitigate risks early (architecture, compliance, data quality, performance)
  • Establish and evolve program metrics and run operational cadences (standups, demos, postmortems).
• Cross-Functional Collaboration
  • Coordinate across Technology teams including Product, System Operations, Algorithms, and Systems Engineering; align on priorities and release schedules.
  • Communicate clearly to technical and non-technical audiences; create crisp briefs, change logs, and executive summaries.
• Continuous Improvement
  • Lead retrospectives to improve delivery processes, backlog hygiene, and release management.
  • Champion repeatable programmatic practices tailored to team needs and standardize artifacts.

Your skills and qualifications:
Essential education and experience:

• Bachelor's Degree in Engineering or related field or equivalent experience
• 5+ years in technical program/project management or engineering leadership roles
• Hands-on experience in software engineering or data processing/algorithm development.
• Technical Fluency: Ability to understand system architecture, APIs, pipelines, and algorithmic trade-offs; comfortable facilitating design discussions and documenting decisions.
• RF/Signal Experience: Exposure to RF signal processing, geolocation, spectrum monitoring, or satellite/space systems.
• TPM Fundamentals: Roadmapping, scoping, dependency management, risk/issue handling, status/reporting, stakeholder management, and delivery accountability.
• Execution in Ambiguity: Demonstrated success leading programs with evolving requirements, complex dependencies, and cross-functional stakeholders.
• Process & Tools: Proficiency with backlog management, OKRs, and program tooling (e.g., Jira, Confluence, or equivalents).
• Communication: Excellent written and verbal communication; ability to create clear plans, dashboards, and executive updates.

Desirable:

• Project Management Professional (PMP) Certification
• Data/ML Pipelines: Familiarity with batch/stream processing (e.g., Kafka, Spark), model deployment/monitoring, data quality frameworks, and MLOps.
• Cloud & DevOps: Experience with cloud-native architectures (AWS/Azure/GCP), CI/CD, infrastructure as code, and observability practices.
• Compliance & Reliability: Working knowledge of information security, data governance, and incident management.
• Domain Exposure: Geospatial analytics, remote sensing, or high-throughput data platforms.
