Maintain deep understanding of all subsystems, interfaces, operational concepts, and mission objectives
Drive the program technical roadmap in partnership with subsystem leads and subject matter experts while balancing performance, reliability, schedule, risk, and cost
Establish and uphold a high standard of engineering rigor, technical discipline, and configuration control throughout development and operations
Identify technical, operational, and programmatic risks early and develop mitigation strategies to ensure mission success
Define and oversee vehicle-level readiness and certification processes, including major design reviews, test readiness reviews, and mission readiness activities
Serve as the primary technical authority for the program with customers, government stakeholders, launch providers, and external partners
Lead resolution of major anomalies and technical issues, driving root cause investigations and corrective actions through closure
Champion continuous improvement across vehicle design, production, testing, operations, and organizational processes

Minimum Qualifications

10+ years of relevant experience in the spacecraft domain
5+ years of experience leading multidisciplinary engineering teams or managing large-scale technical programs
Proven track record of managing hardware programs through the full lifecycle
Excellent leadership, communication, and decision-making skills in fast-moving technical environments
Ability to obtain and maintain a DoD TS/SCI or TS/SAP security clearance
Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Aerospace, or related field

Preferred Skills and Experience

12+ years' of experience leading multidisciplinary engineering teams or managing large-scale technical programs
Direct experience serving as Chief Engineer, Deputy Chief Engineer, System Lead, or equivalent technical authority for spacecraft, missile defense, interceptor, or other high-performance aerospace systems
Deep understanding of space-based defense architectures, responsive space operations, and mission-critical system design
Strong knowledge of guidance, navigation, and control (GNC), propulsion, avionics, autonomy, and mission systems for maneuverable space vehicles
Deep hands-on familiarity with spacecraft integration, environmental testing, launch campaigns, mission operations, and anomaly resolution
Active TS/SCI security clearance
Experience scaling engineering organizations and development processes within rapidly growing aerospace companies
Intimate knowledge of U.S. Department of Defense standards and requirements
