Director of Technical Program Management, Space Radar

Andurils Space team is at the forefront of advancing national security capabilities in the space domain. Our mission is twofold: 1) develop autonomous satellite systems and space-based platforms and 2) deliver critical ground and orbital software infrastructure at scale. We transform products and capabilities across space command and control (C2) mission management and space operations from early concepts into fully operational systems by partnering closely with specialist engineering operations and production teams. Through our integrated approach we design and deploy space software systems using advanced algorithms distributed architectures and resilient infrastructuredelivering reliable mission-critical capabilities that support operators across orbital and ground-based assets. Space Systems hires software engineers and systems engineers who are excited to build across a diverse and powerful portfoliofrom satellite operations software to space domain awareness platforms. Our teams contribute to highly capable autonomous space systems and ground software products that operate reliably in the most demanding mission environments supporting the DOD and IC in defending our national interests in space.

Were seeking a Director of Technical Program Management to lead a flagship space-based radar program. You will own end-to-end execution of this massive initiative spanning radar payload development spacecraft integration ground systems and mission operations. This role demands deep technical fluency in radar systems and algorithms combined with the ability to drive large-scale program execution manage executive-level customer relationships and coordinate across hardware software and operations teams. Youll be the central figure ensuring this critical program delivers on time on budget and exceeds mission requirements.
