Résumé du poste

E-Space is seeking a Government Contracts Project Manager in Santa Clara, CA. You will own the integrated master schedule across space, ground, and payload, manage end-to-end contract deliverables, and serve as the government program point of contact.

This role requires 5+ years in aerospace or regulated environments, experience with OTAs/FAR/DFARS, and the ability to lead reviews in a matrix organization while ensuring compliant, on-time performance.

Qualifications

• 5+ years managing government programs in aerospace/defense.
• Experience executing against government agreements — OTAs, FAR/DFARS-based contracts, SBIR/STTR, or task order vehicles.
• Proven track record delivering a single program end-to-end.
• Experience in running formal reviews with entry/exit criteria and action tracking.
• Ability to operate in a matrix organization with engineers reporting to different chains.
• Clear, direct communication with engineers, leadership and customers.
• US person status and eligibility to obtain and maintain a US Government security clearance.

Responsabilités

• Own the integrated master schedule for your program across space, ground, and payload workstreams.
• Own contract deliverables end to end — CDRLs, milestone submittals, technical reports: the deliverable list, the schedule behind it, review and submittal, and customer acceptance.
• Serve as the day-to-day programmatic point of contact for the government customer on your program: cost and schedule status, deliverable status, contractual actions, and the informal calls in between.
• Track cost and schedule performance against the award: burn rate versus funding, milestone payment triggers, and early warning when the two diverge.
• Maintain the risk register and drive mitigations to closure.
• Run the gated review lifecycle — SRR, PDR, CDR, and other milestone and program reviews.
• Partner with the mission systems engineer assigned to your program.
• Pull on the functional organization to get your program the engineering it needs.
• Work across contracts, finance, export compliance, and security to keep the program compliant.
• Contribute schedules, basis of estimate inputs, and technical volume content to follow-on scope and task orders.
