Translate customer requirements into a prioritized, traceable backlog with engineering and product, and manage scope changes against cost and schedule

Run the program cadence: release planning, weekly program reviews, risk and issue boards, and monthly status to leadership and customers

Manage program budget and burn, including labor across multiple engineering teams, and flag variance early with a recovery plan

Coordinate software integration with aircraft, partner hardware, and government systems, including test events, field exercises, and demonstrations

Drive software delivery and accreditation work with our DevSecOps team: deliverable packages, documentation, and cyber and ATO requirements where they apply

Lead customer-facing milestone reviews and own contract deliverables (CDRLs, status reports, technical data)

Partner with the Director of PMO to build program practices that fit how software teams actually work, without adding bureaucracy

6+ years of program or technical program management, with at least 3 years owning software or software-intensive programs for DoD or other government customers

Fluency in agile delivery (Scrum, Kanban, SAFe or similar) and experience mapping it to milestone-based defense contracts

Enough technical depth to follow architecture discussions, challenge estimates, and spot integration risk early; a software engineering background is a strong plus

Experience delivering software that integrates with hardware: autonomy, C2, mission systems, avionics, or similar
