60 Stellar Solutions Program Management Jobs Hiring Near You

Stellar Solutions, a nationally recognized "Great Place To Work," delivers engineering solutions across commercial space and national security missions-from innovative new entrants to established space systems organizations.

We bring talented, energetic, and immediately productive professionals to meet critical customer needs in systems engineering and integration, mission operations, program management, and strategic planning-helping teams deliver resilient capability to the mission with speed, quality, and focus.

Stellar Solutions is seeking a Senior Program Integration Advisor to serve as a trusted Government advisor at the intersection of program management, systems integration, rapid acquisition, mission execution, and National Security Space.

This role supports space-based sensing and Environmental Monitoring activities as they scale across distributed programs, stakeholders, contractors, and operational sites. The role requires the ability to bring structure to ambiguous problems, coordinate diverse technical and acquisition stakeholders, and independently drive complex efforts while preserving Government leadership and decision authority.

As space-based sensing activity scales across distributed programs and operational sites, this advisor will also help Government leadership manage Spectrum Management dependencies that affect capability delivery, including planning for spectrum needs, coordinating authorizations, addressing site-level constraints, and sustaining approved spectrum use for operational systems. The successful candidate will be expected to proactively identify gaps, impose practical structure, maintain momentum across stakeholders, and drive actions to closure with limited oversight.

Key responsibilities include:

Serve as a trusted advisor to Government leadership and independently lead assigned projects and workstreams across technical, acquisition, programmatic, and operational organizations.
• Translate warfighter and mission needs into actionable capability requirements, acquisition approaches, integration activities, and execution plans.
• Support rapid acquisition and fielding of commercial and Government software, sensing, data, analytics, and other emerging capabilities through non-traditional DoD processes.
• Evaluate candidate technologies through vendor engagement, demonstrations, technical assessment, testing, and operational validation to assess mission utility and integration feasibility.
• Coordinate Government organizations, commercial vendors, technical teams, and operational users to resolve issues and accelerate capability delivery.
• Mentor developing program-management personnel and help establish effective execution practices across the team.
• Operate with broad Government intent and limited supervision, taking ownership of difficult problems while preserving Government leadership and decision authority.

Required Qualifications

• 10+ years of relevant experience supporting Department of Defense, National Security Space, Intelligence Community, or similar complex commercial technology programs.
• Experience working with Government acquisition organizations or commercial technology providers to evaluate and deliver capabilities.
• Significant experience in program management, systems engineering and integration, acquisition support, or mission integration
• Demonstrated experience supporting Spectrum Management activities for space, ground, radar/RF, satellite communications, remote sensing, or related operational systems, such as frequency planning, authorization and licensing coordination, radiation/emissions application support, interference assessment, site-level coordination, and sustainment of approved spectrum use.
• Demonstrated experience independently leading complex Government or commercial projects or workstreams involving multiple technical, acquisition, and operational stakeholders.
• Experience supporting technology development, integration, demonstration, testing, validation, fielding, or transition to operations.
• Technical familiarity with space systems, remote sensing, space-based sensing, mission software, ground systems, data processing, or related capabilities.
• Proven strong communication skills, stakeholder-management, and problem-solving skills with demonstrated ability to operate effectively in ambiguous and rapidly evolving environments.
• Bachelor's of Science degree in a technical discipline.

Desired Qualifications

• Experience supporting U.S. Space Force, Space Systems Command, Space-Based Sensing and Targeting, or related National Security Space organizations.
• Experience with rapid acquisition, software acquisition, prototyping, commercial acquisition strategies, or other adaptive acquisition approaches.
• Familiarity with commercial remote sensing or multiple sensing phenomenologies such as EO, IR, RF, SAR, or thermal sensing.
• Experience integrating commercial technology, software, data, or analytics into Government architectures or operational workflows.
• Familiarity with AI/ML, Agile software development, automated analytics, data fusion, or software-enabled mission capabilities.
• PMP, Defense Acquisition University, Systems Engineering, or comparable professional credentials.

Clearance & Additional Requirements

• U.S. citizenship is required.
• Active TS clearance is required with SCI eligibility.
• Ability to access U.S.-only data systems and support classified government mission environments is required.
• Ability to travel to temporary work locations up to 10%, as needed
