Technical Program Manager, On-Orbit Tests

What you will do

Your mission

This Technical Program Manager for On-Orbit Test will be responsible for the end-to-end integration of a major on-orbit demonstration of an integrated spacecraft. This role serves as the Lead Integrator and primary execution arm, from planning to execution. Critically, this role interfaces with the customer test team on a weekly basis, at minimum, serving as the immediate bridge between their external communication (requirements, asks, and everything in between) and relaying them back internally to drive to closure.

This role will also be the prime interface with external Government Test Ranges and officials at different test venues to support our ground testing confidence campaign. The role requires continuous coordination across cross-functional teams, including technical (engineering, test team, ground systems, etc.) and programmatic (launch, supply chain, range operations, planners, etc.) teams.
