Job summary

Albedo in Broomfield, CO is building the hardware and software stack to enable Very Low Earth Orbit missions. You will own the execution of programs across engineering, production, and software, delivering against aggressive deadlines while preserving schedule integrity.

You will lead a cross-disciplinary schedule, drive AI&T flow, manage resources, and maintain the plan as the system of record. The role requires hands-on hardware integration experience and clear communication with leadership.

Qualifications

• BS in EE, CE, Aero, or ME or demonstrated equivalent technical fluency.
• 8+ years in program or engineering management for hardware programs, with at least one where they owned the detailed build or AI&T schedule.
• Demonstrated task-level schedule ownership: resource-loaded plans, negotiated durations, and the critical path you can still explain.
• Multi-disciplinary integration experience: schedule spanning mechanical, electrical, software, and test.
• Hardware production or integration and test exposure: on the floor or adjacent to it while something was being built.
• CAPM/PMP a plus.

Responsibilities

• Own the execution of projects and programs across the company, measured against Albedo's company goals and committed delivery dates.
• Build and maintain the integrated schedule spanning engineering, production, and software: GNC, FSW, GSW, Comms, Systems, Electronics, Optical, Mechanical, Thermal, and Production, with a real critical path and explicit margin.
• Work at the build-schedule depth, not the milestone-roll-up depth: AI&T flow, production sequencing, resource loading, test-stand and fixture contention, and long-lead procurement.
• Partner with team leads and systems engineering to translate technical plans into durations they will stand behind and hold the line when those durations are optimistic.
• Find slips before they are announced. Run the replan, quantify the options, and present a decision to the team.
• Own the execution cadence and keep Linear accurate as the system of record, with health, status, and dependencies that leadership can trust.
• Build the program-management practice: cadence, reporting, escalation, and schedule standards that others can run as we add programs and headcount.
• Represent programs to external customers and partners where applicable, while keeping internal delivery ownership as the primary focus.
