About the Role

At Mission Microwave, our RF and microwave technologies power some of the world’s most advanced aerospace, defense, and satellite communication systems. As a Technical Project Manager, you’ll be the strategic force coordinating cross-functional teams, guiding complex hardware programs, and ensuring every product moves from concept to production with precision.

This role is equal parts leader, problem-solver, and communicator — ideal for someone who thrives at the intersection of engineering depth, disciplined execution, and customer partnership. If you’re energized by navigating technical challenges, aligning diverse teams, and delivering high-reliability hardware that performs in the toughest environments, this is where you belong.

What You’ll Do

• Own the full lifecycle of engineering and manufacturing programs.
• Driving program scope, schedules, milestones, and resource planning for new product introductions and major engineering changes.
• Translating customer requirements into actionable engineering deliverables.
• Leading cross-disciplinary teams — RF/microwave, mechanical, manufacturing, test, quality, supply chain — to merge design intent with manufacturability.
• Building and maintaining integrated master schedules while managing critical paths.
• Anticipating risks early and driving collaborative, technical problem-solving.
• Coordinating prototype and qualification builds and ensuring smooth transitions to production.
• Serving as the program’s central point of communication for leadership, customers, and suppliers.
• Preparing executive-level reports, presenting technical status, and ensuring contractual alignment.
• Championing AS9100, space, and defense-grade quality and documentation standards.
• Capturing lessons learned and contributing to continuous improvement initiatives.

What You Bring

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical, Mechanical, Systems Engineering, or a related technical field.
• 5+ years of project/program management experience on hardware-based engineering programs (RF, microwave, aerospace, defense, or SATCOM strongly ).
• Strong understanding of the complete hardware product lifecycle.
• Ability to coordinate multi-disciplinary teams and manage competing priorities.
• Experience with customer-facing technical programs, requirements traceability, or acceptance testing.
• Proficiency with project scheduling tools, risk management, and documentation systems.
• Exceptional communication skills — able to translate technical detail for any audience.
• A track record of delivering complex engineering programs on time and within budget.
• Experience with WBS, Work Packages, or earned value management (SPI/CPI) is a plus.
• Self-driven, organized, and comfortable in a fast-paced environment where ownership matters.
