Job description

About Us
Array Labs builds advanced radar systems to help humanity understand and respond to changes across the physical world. 
 
We're launching a coordinated fleet of radar satellites to create a high-resolution 3D map of the Earth, updated in real time, enabling faster, smarter decision-making for government and commercial organizations supporting disaster response, infrastructure resilience, and mission-critical geopolitical intelligence.
 
We design and build our satellites end-to-end, producing the world's most advanced earth observation satellites. Our fleet will deliver unprecedented levels of accuracy, coverage, and responsiveness to power critical insights precisely where they're needed most.

About the Job
As a Technical Program Manager, you will own the execution framework that turns Array Labs' engineering roadmaps and company priorities into delivered programs. You will build and maintain the schedules, dependencies, and milestone structure that keep our satellite missions and government contracts moving on time, and you will resolve the resource conflicts that inevitably arise across a portfolio of concurrent efforts. You will work closely with engineering leadership, functional managers, systems engineering, and responsible engineers, and partner directly with the executive team on prioritization, staffing, and bid decisions.

As part of our quickly growing team, you will own the on-time delivery of our mission-critical hardware and software that will significantly improve humanity's ability to rapidly and comprehensively understand our changing planet.

Responsibilities
  • Define and communicate clear program structure, scope, and milestones
  • Build and maintain schedules for projects and programs
  • Drive coordination across teams to keep deliverables moving
  • Identify resource needs and negotiate staffing with functional managers
  • Surface risks early and propose practical mitigations
  • Translate engineering roadmaps into concrete release items and execution plans
  • Support planning for new efforts, including staffing, cost estimates, schedule assumptions, and resource utilization
  • Help leadership make better prioritization and bid / no-bid decisions


  • Basic Qualifications
  • B.S. in Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field
  • 3–5 years of experience supporting complex, high-stakes technical programs with a track record of delivering integrated hardware/software systems
  • Demonstrated ability to learn new, highly technical concepts rapidly and independently in a fast-paced environment
  • A high level of personal accountability and the "whatever it takes" attitude required to hit mission-critical deadlines
  • Excellent interpersonal skills with the ability to bridge the gap between deep-tech engineering details and executive-level strategy


  • Preferred Skills & Experience
  • Hands-on experience in the design, development, integration, or test of electronic or mechanical hardware systems
  • Experience with scripting (Python, SQL) or data visualization tools to automate program metrics and performance tracking
  • Proven success in a high-growth, ambiguous, or "clean-sheet" hardware environment
  • Familiarity or experience with the aerospace industry or exposure to development of safety-critical hardware systems


  • Compensation & Benefits
    Our hiring and compensation strategy is simple: find uncommonly good people and pay them uncommonly well.
     
    We offer high flexibility between salary and equity-based compensation. Final candidates can choose from three compensation mixes: low, medium, or high equity. Equity is a significant component of total compensation, and we aim to provide meaningful ownership for this role.
     
    Full-time employees also enjoy a comprehensive benefits package including health, dental, vision, a 401(k) with company match, commuter benefits, and more.
     
     
    Interview Process
    We will conduct interviews via Google Meet with the potential for an onsite visit; the typical process takes around 3-5 weeks to complete from start to finish.
