Staff Technical Program Manager, Air Vehicle Systems (R6044)

We are seeking an experienced Air Vehicle Systems Technical Program Manager to help drive execution across the air vehicle systems design team. This role lives within the engineering organization and partners closely with Responsible Engineers (REs) and technical leads across aircraft subsystems such as flight controls, avionics, electrical power, thermal and fluid systems, mechanical systems, structures, landing gear, and vehicle integration.

You will work alongside the air vehicle systems design team, manufacturing and test teams, and applicable suppliers to ensure technical work progresses in alignment with vehicle-level milestones, schedules, and program objectives. This role requires enough aircraft-systems depth to understand the underlying technical solutions, identify cross-system dependencies, and help teams make sound execution decisions, while also bringing the coordination, accountability, and follow-through needed to move the program forward.

 

The ideal candidate has an engineering background and thrives in a hands-on, hardware-centric development environment. They are comfortable working with technical detail, asking the right questions, removing obstacles, and translating complex system work into measurable progress toward aircraft integration and flight readiness.
