We are seeking an Associate Program Manager with a strong engineering background to support the execution of complex embedded systems programs for defense and space applications. This role is ideal for a hands-on technical program leader who can work closely with engineering teams, drive cross-functional execution, and help ensure programs meet cost, schedule, technical, contractual, compliance, and customer commitments. Depending on program scope, this individual may support a Program Manager on larger or more complex programs and/or take ownership of smaller programs, projects, or work packages with appropriate guidance. The role will help manage day-to-day program execution, track deliverables, identify risks, drive actions to closure, and support customer and leadership communications. This role is well suited for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, resource-constrained environment and is comfortable operating with limited information, solving problems proactively, and wearing multiple hats. In this role, the essential responsibilities are: Support and/or lead the planning, execution, and delivery of embedded systems programs, projects, or work packages for defense and space customers. Support Program Managers on larger programs and/or manage smaller scoped programs, projects, or work packages with appropriate oversight. Help manage program performance across cost, schedule, technical scope, risk, quality, contractual deliverables, and customer satisfaction. Work closely with engineering teams to understand technical requirements, track progress, identify risks, and support tradeoff discussions. Develop, maintain, and update integrated program plans, schedules, risk registers, action trackers, customer deliverable trackers, and status reports. Drive cross-functional follow-up across engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, quality, contracts, finance, business development, and customer-facing teams. Identify program risks, blockers, dependencies, and execution gaps; support mitigation planning and drive assigned actions to closure. Operate effectively in ambiguous environments, helping the team make progress even when information is incomplete or priorities are evolving. Support recovery efforts for challenged programs by improving visibility, establishing clear action plans, tracking accountability, and helping return programs to predictable execution. Support contract review, proposal inputs, statements of work, deliverables, milestones, and customer communications. Help ensure program execution aligns with prime contract requirements, subcontractor flow-downs, customer expectations, and applicable compliance obligations. Support compliance with applicable government contracting, export control, and defense program requirements, including DFARS and ITAR-related processes. Prepare program status updates, risk summaries, action plans, and leadership briefing materials. Support customer meetings, internal program reviews, executive reviews, and cross-functional working sessions. Support cost/schedule performance tracking, including Earned Value Management inputs, contract type considerations, and milestone-based execution tracking as applicable. Drive a culture of accountability, urgency, attention to detail, and continuous improvement across assigned program activities.
