Engineering Program Manager

As an Engineering Program Manager, you will own the execution framework that turns Array Labs' engineering roadmaps and company priorities into delivered programs. You will build and maintain the schedules, dependencies, and milestone structure that keep our satellite missions and government contracts moving on time, and you will resolve the resource conflicts that inevitably arise across a portfolio of concurrent efforts. You will work closely with engineering leadership, functional managers, systems engineering, and responsible engineers, and partner directly with the executive team on prioritization, staffing, and bid decisions.

As part of our quickly growing team, you will own the on-time delivery of our mission-critical hardware and software that will significantly improve humanity's ability to rapidly and comprehensively understand our changing planet.
