  Quantum Space is redefining mobility and maneuverability in space. Our high-mobility spacecraft platforms support national security, civil, and commercial missions with unmatched flexibility and propulsion capability. We build fast and iterate quickly.   Who We're Looking For   We are seeking a Senior Program Manager who has put hardware in orbit and is ready to do it again, faster and leaner.  This role is for a senior technologist-turned-program-manager: someone with deep roots in systems engineering, spacecraft I&T, or instrument development who has grown into full technical, cost, and schedule ownership of a space mission. You've led programs through early architectures and trades, major development reviews (SRR, PDR, CDR, etc.), and flight. You know how to lead cross-functional teams of 30 to 200+ people, engage credibly in technical reviews, and make hard trade-offs under real constraints.   Where You'll Make an Impact   Own full technical, cost, and schedule accountability for spacecraft and subsystem development   Lead cross-functional delivery across engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, integration, and test from early development through launch and commissioning   Develop and maintain integrated program plans, IMS, milestones, and delivery commitments to internal stakeholders and external customers   Identify program risks, dependencies, and resource constraints — and drive mitigation to closure, not just documentation   Own customer engagements, milestone reviews (SRR, PDR, CDR, etc.), and internal program reporting   Bring execution discipline and mission assurance rigor to a fast-paced, rapidly evolving commercial environment   Contribute to proposal development and business capture as the company scales its program portfolio     What It Takes   Bachelor's degree or higher in engineering, physics, or a closely related technical discipline   7+ years of project or program management experience on satellite or spacecraft missions, including at least one that reached launch or on-orbit operations   Technical depth in systems engineering, I&T, or instrument development — enough to engage meaningfully with your engineering team   Proven ability to lead cross-functional, hardware-intensive programs through formal government or commercial milestone reviews   Strong experience managing schedules, budgets, and execution trade-offs under real cost and schedule constraints   Ability to operate effectively in a mission-driven, high-accountability environment where outcomes are visible to the customer from day one     Nice-to-Have Experience   Experience in rapid development, prototype-to-production, or non-traditional acquisition environments   Proposal development experience — writing or managing competitive responses to government AOs or RFPs   Familiarity with mission assurance standards, ITAR/export control requirements, and national security mission contexts   Active U.S. Top Secret or TS/SCI clearance, or clear eligibility to obtain one     What You'll Get   Ownership— Own execution for a high-visibility national security mission with direct customer accountability   Impact  — Deliver systems that directly support critical space and defense objectives from a company that ships   Innovation – Drive forward-thinking program leadership by balancing technical innovation, cost, schedule, and mission assurance to deliver next-generation space capabilities.
