Job Summary

As an IPT Lead, you will drive execution for the development of avionics products. You will be responsible for budget, schedule and technical execution. You will lead a cross functional team across disciplines to ensure products meet technical objectives for mass, power, communication, etc. Our products include items such as Guidance Navigation and Control systems, batteries, avionics, power and other systems which fly aboard the satellites we develop. You will drive product development from concept, PDR, CDR, Qualification, and Production. The ideal candidate would have experience leading product development programs thru the entire product life cycle and have a keen understanding on how to manage cost, schedule, risk, and technical execution for a product development program in the Space sector. The position will require working with company and program management, multiple engineering teams, production, ATLO (Assembly, Test, and Launch Operations), and our Customers to deliver qualified subsystem products on time and on budget. Successful IPT Leads blend deep technical understanding of a diverse cross-functional engineering team with an ability to manage cost/schedule aspects and drive program success. You will work closely with your IPT Lead counterparts managing other areas of the satellite program(s) to ensure solutions meet needs at the program and mission level.
