Senior Space Program Manager - Orbital Compute & AI

Axiom Space; Houston (TX); Presencial; USD 140.000 - 210.000; Jornada completa

Descripción de la vacante

Axiom Space in Houston is seeking a Senior Technical Program Manager to own end-to-end delivery of our orbital compute program—a secure, radiation-tolerant payload with Linux- and Rust-based software, GPU-accelerated AI/ML workloads and post-quantum secure communications.

You'll guide the program from concept through qualification, payload integration, and on-orbit demonstration, coordinating hardware, software, security, and systems teams with external suppliers while reporting to the CTO.

Formación

• BS in engineering, a physical science, or a related technical discipline.
• 8+ years of technical program or project management delivering complex engineering programs.
• Experience coordinating cross-functional engineering teams, suppliers, and subcontractors toward integrated baselines.
• Hands-on engineering or technical background sufficient to read design documents and reason about system architecture.
• Familiarity with earned-value management and project financial tracking.
• Proficiency with Jira and Confluence and Agile delivery.

Responsabilidades

• Own end-to-end delivery of the orbital compute program, from concept and prototype through environmental and radiation qualification, payload integration, and on-orbit demonstration
• Build and maintain the integrated master schedule and critical path across parallel hardware and software workstreams, including long-lead procurement, board bring-up, qualification, payload integration, and launch and on-orbit milestones
• Coordinate delivery across multiple engineering groups you do not directly manage, aligning them to a shared program plan, interface definitions, and milestone set
• Own program-level risk, dependency, and tradeoff management, proactively identifying critical-path bottlenecks and driving issues and escalations to resolution
• Manage external suppliers, vendors, and integration partners, including scoping statements of work, tracking deliverables, and owning interface and integration milestones
• Lead development and upkeep of interface control documents, concepts of operations, and program baselines, translating mission and customer requirements into appropriately scoped system work
• Own cost and schedule performance, including basis-of-estimate development, budget tracking, and earned-value-style reporting against baseline
• Hold credible technical tradeoff discussions with senior engineers across compute hardware, Linux/Rust software, GPU-accelerated AI/ML, and secure and post-quantum communications
• Partner with engineering and product leadership to scope efforts, set priorities, coordinate release and test cadences, and build the business cases that inform prioritization and investment
• Communicate progress, status, and emerging issues to stakeholders and leadership
• Implement and maintain agile project management methodologies throughout the project lifecycle
• Perform other duties as assigned
