Technical Program Lead

Technical Program Lead

As a senior technical project manager, you understand the complexities of delivering projects from concept through deployment. You will partner with product managers, hardware or software engineers, and client stakeholders to translate ambitious product visions into actionable project plans, balancing scope, capacity, and delivery goals. You'll manage execution across multiple technical domains, develop and track schedules, budgets, and dependencies, and provide transparency through dashboards, status reports, and executive briefings to ensure successful outcomes for complex defense and technology projects.

On our team, you will lead the full life cycle of technical projects from concept design, requirements development, and systems engineering through integration, testing, and deployment with a chance to see our technical solutions integrated and flown onboard different DoD weapon systems. You'll identify, assess, and mitigate risks across cost, schedule, technical performance, and security. You will manage project artifacts including contractor proposals, CDRLs, and technical documentation, while ensuring compliance with DoD acquisition, contracting, and security requirements. You will also support technical architecture planning and standards, co-owning scalability decisions with engineering leadership and driving quality, security, and operational readiness throughout the engineering lifecycle.

The role requires not only technical fluency, but also strong communication and stakeholder management skills to ensure alignment across government, industry, and engineering partners. You will foster collaboration across multi-functional teams, vendors, and clients while providing executive-level visibility into project progress, risks, and trade-offs. This is a dynamic, impactful opportunity where your expertise in project management and technical execution directly contributes to mission success.
