Job Description:

As a Technical Project Manager on the Connected Warfare team, you will be a technical leader spearheading initiatives into a new market. Your work will span the entire lifecycle of our efforts from engaging with customers, shaping technical requirements, integrating third party systems, and final delivery. This will require solving a wide variety of technical problems and making pragmatic engineering versus programmatic tradeoffs along the way. You will often be expected to self-direct, and to be comfortable navigating ambiguity. Above all, our engineers are driven by a “Whatever It Takes” mindset—executing in an expedient, scalable, and pragmatic way while keeping the mission top-of-mind and making sound engineering & programmatic decisions to deliver successful outcomes correctly, on-time, and with high quality.

Job Responsibility:

Create data flow pipelines that span horizontally and vertically across disparate networked systems and security domains
Mentor junior engineers from differing backgrounds
Technical Execution: Develop the technical path for success of new efforts from conception onwards by writing & reviewing project plans and design documents, before spinning up the broader team to execute
Regularly engage with external stakeholders, particularly customers, to surface and clarify pain points and solve problems related to both day-to-day execution and overall technical programmatics
Navigating Ambiguity: Execute on broad, ambiguous, and ambitious requirements from external customers
Seize the opportunity to shape requirements in favor of the optimal product for the client and the company
Demonstrate high ownership on all pieces of work
Shape Growth Opportunities: Support the drafting of technical proposals, ensuring that potential projects and scaling opportunities are accurately scoped, resourced, and aligned with the organization's capabilities and strategic goals
Stakeholder Management: Act as the primary technical liaison for the client, go deep into understanding their specific mission challenges and advocate for their needs within the engineering organization and ensure their feedback directly influences the engineering roadmap
Resolves technical conflicts between the team, internal stakeholders and the customer

Requirements:

Proven customer-facing technical program management experience, preferably in the defense, national security, or aerospace domains
Ability to create and maintain professional relationships with senior level Japanese customers and partners
Solid technical aptitude and an ability to understand technical designs, software development lifecycle, challenges and risks
Ability to work closely and effectively with engineering teams
Ability to work with internal and external stakeholders, across a wide range of technical comfort
Excellent written and verbal communication skills
Ability to travel to client sites (50%)

Nice to have:

Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science or an Engineering discipline
Experience managing mission critical systems in operational environments
Between 1-2 years previous experience as a technical lead or technical program manager
Proven experience leading multi-disciplinary engineering teams to successful completion of projects
Desire to grow into a Tech-Lead-Manager role, with responsibility for line management of engineers, in addition to delivery
