Based in Orange County, California, working closely with engineering, operations and leadership at Tiberius’s Newport Beach headquarters. Expect regular on-site collaboration and travel to company facilities, suppliers, manufacturing partners, customer locations and test ranges as program needs require.
Position Overview
We’re looking for a Technical Program Manager to lead the planning and execution of complex aerospace and defense development programs. You’ll turn technical objectives into executable plans and coordinate the people, resources, dependencies and decisions needed to deliver against them.
You’ll work across aerodynamics, propulsion, mechanical design, structural and thermal analysis, electrical hardware, embedded software, guidance, navigation and control, manufacturing and test. Your responsibility is to keep those disciplines aligned around clear requirements, credible schedules and measurable outcomes.
Candidates should bring experience in missile, missile-defense or closely related defense flight-hardware programs, with an understanding of the development, integration, qualification and production challenges these programs present.
This is a technically engaged execution role—not simply schedule administration. You’ll understand the engineering work well enough to identify dependencies, challenge assumptions, surface risks and help teams resolve obstacles before they become missed milestones.
Decision rights: You own integrated program planning, execution tracking, resource coordination, risk reporting and change-control coordination within delegated authority. The Chief Engineer and designated technical leads own technical architecture, design decisions and engineering acceptance. Contractual commitments, budget changes and scope changes outside delegated authority require appropriate approval.
