Role Overview

We are seeking a Technical Lead who will serve as the facilitator of the day‑to‑day tasking required to maintain the program schedule, ensuring engineering activities remain aligned with program priorities and execution needs. You will work directly with engineering teams to remove blockers, coordinate cross‑discipline dependencies, and ensure the organization is positioned for programmatic and development milestone success.

This role requires a hands-on technical leader who can work across systems, hardware, software, FPGA, and test teams to diagnose issues, clarify technical tradeoffs, unblock integration work, and support execution-critical activities. You will collaborate with each discipline to understand technical risks, maintain alignment with program direction, and ensure accurate, up-to-date status is communicated to the Program Manager and Scrum Master.

You will monitor for scope creep and divergence from the product line across all programs, escalate misalignment early, and ensure engineering work remains within defined program boundaries. You will also spend meaningful time in the lab during first‑articles, builds and integration support, and will prepare technical content for internal and external program reviews and customer meetings.

As a central execution partner to the Program Manager, you will help ensure disciplined, predictable delivery of high‑quality space systems.

What You’ll Do

• Maintain alignment with program priorities and the IMS by coordinating cross‑discipline needs and ensuring the organization is positioned for programmatic and development milestone success.
• Serve as a cross‑functional technical floater by stepping into any engineering discipline to resolve issues, sustain progress, and provide hands‑on support.
• Identify obstacles early by driving mitigation actions to closure, escalating when necessary, and ensuring uninterrupted execution across engineering teams.
• Help decompose work into clear engineering activities while maintaining accurate status in the IMS and Jira.
• Drive technical decision processes including trade studies, documenting decisions, and integrating outcomes into the technical baseline and program execution.
• Provide hands‑on support in lab setup, dry runs, and other execution‑critical activities.
• Serve as the lead point of contact for all engineering disciplines to ensure they have the tools, resources, and support required to be successful.

What You’ll Bring

• Bachelor’s degree in engineering or related technical field; advanced degree preferred.
• Minimum of 12 years of experience in engineering development, integration, or technical leadership roles.
• Strong technical foundation in at least two of the following areas, with working fluency across the others: systems engineering, digital hardware, embedded software, FPGA development, integration, and test.
• Hands‑on lab experience with hardware bring‑up, integration, and troubleshooting.
• Proven ability to manage technical dependencies, risks, and schedule drivers.
• Experience executing trade studies and documenting technical decisions.
• Familiarity with Microsoft Project, IMS development, Jira workflows, and EAC inputs.
• Strong communication skills and ability to convey technical context clearly.
• Experience supporting government customers, primes, or commercial space organizations.
• Execution‑focused leadership style with strong organizational discipline.
• Ability to travel as required.

Benefits
