Constellation Integration Program Lead

maxar; Westminster (CO); On-site; USD 120,000 - 160,000; Full time

Job summary

Vantor seeks a Constellation Integration Program Manager to own end-to-end execution and integration across a complex satellite constellation—from spacecraft development to ground systems, communications, and mission operations.

You will connect space, ground, network, operations, suppliers, customers, and external partners into a single executable program, maintaining cost, schedule, technical performance, risks, and readiness across $100M+ efforts.

Qualifications

• Must be a U.S. Citizen and able to obtain security clearance.
• 10+ years of experience executing complex, multidisciplinary technical programs involving hardware, software, systems engineering, integration, test, operations, or similarly complex engineered systems.
• Demonstrated ownership of major technical programs, integrated portfolios, or mission capabilities with significant cost, schedule, technical, supplier, and operational complexity; experience with programs or portfolios at the $100M+ scale strongly preferred.
• Experience integrating multiple system elements into a cohesive operational capability rather than managing a single isolated product or workstream.
• Demonstrated ability to establish and maintain an integrated program architecture spanning technical milestones, acquisition and supplier activities, development, integration, verification, deployment, and operational readiness.
• Experience developing and actively managing integrated master schedules, critical paths, cross-program dependencies, major milestones, resource constraints, and schedule risk.
• Demonstrated ability to establish and manage program baselines, including work breakdown structures, cost and schedule performance, forecasts, estimates to complete, and recovery plans.
• Experience managing technical, cost, schedule, integration, supplier, operational, and external dependency risks and opportunities.
• Demonstrated ability to translate engineering development, integration, verification, test, and operational activities into measurable program milestones, entrance/exit criteria, and decision points.
• Experience driving execution across systems engineering, hardware, software, integration and test, mission operations, acquisition, supply chain, finance, customers, suppliers, and external partners without relying solely on

Responsibilities

• Establish the integrated execution framework for the constellation and identify critical-path and cross-segment dependencies.
• Drive decisions, remove blockers, and surface problems before they become crises.
• Develop credible recovery options and drive them to closure when execution moves off plan.
• Ensure the complete constellation capability works and becomes operational when we say it will, not just individual programs or milestones.
