Jobs at Canopy Aerospace & Defense

On-site program manager who bridges PMO and production to drive thermal protection and aerospace hardware from R&D into high-rate manufacturing. Owns schedule recovery, risk mitigation, ERP data integrity, shop-floor expediting, KPI/dashboard reporting, customer liaison, and cross-functional alignment to ensure on-time delivery for defense and space programs.

Lead platform-wide operations for Canopy A&D, building standardized operating models, owning corporate metrics and reporting, driving M&A integration and ERP adoption, managing multiple cross-functional workstreams, and advising leadership on efficiency and ROI for platform investments.

Translate complex engineering and materials science concepts into customer-facing content and brand storytelling. Create technical collateral (white papers, data sheets, case studies), design visuals, manage website and digital content, run market research, support trade shows and proposals, maintain asset libraries, track analytics, and collaborate cross-functionally with engineering, product, and leadership to enable business development and growth.

On-site program manager who drives end-to-end lifecycle of aerospace thermal protection systems, aligning cross-functional teams, expediting shop-floor execution, managing ERP data integrity, tracking KPIs, mitigating risks, and supporting customer integration for mission-critical defense and space programs.

Support and optimize the JobBOSS-to-Epicor migration, maintain ERP data integrity, develop BAQs, dashboards, and reports, troubleshoot transactions, analyze production and financial KPIs, support audits and compliance (AS9100/ITAR/DFARS), and partner cross-functionally to enable data-driven manufacturing decisions.

Lead development, integration, and flight-validation of high-temperature materials and payloads. Design and test ceramic/composite systems, build instrumentation and DAQ, perform multiphysics analyses, prototype hardware, support flight demonstrations, and coordinate cross-functional manufacturing and program efforts.

Create and maintain detailed production schedules, release and manage work orders, align schedules with material availability and capacity, monitor production performance, identify and escalate risks, update ERP/MRP data, coordinate with Manufacturing, Supply Chain, Quality and Purchasing, support capacity planning, and drive KPIs like on-time delivery and schedule adherence in a high-mix, low-volume aerospace manufacturing environment.

Verify completeness, accuracy, and compliance of manufacturing records, material/process certifications, and traceability prior to shipment. Prepare customer data packages, generate Certificates of Conformance, support source inspections and audits, maintain document control and retention, escalate discrepancies, and support AS9100 and continuous improvement initiatives.

Lead design and development of composite phenolic and elastomer mechanical components from concept through production. Perform CAD modeling, FEA and hand calculations, prototyping, testing, and root-cause analysis. Define scalable manufacturing and assembly processes, create process control documentation, and collaborate with Manufacturing and Quality to improve production and ensure aerospace/defense compliance and production readiness.

Lead end-to-end program portfolio for aerospace and defense thermal protection systems. Define KPIs and dashboards, align PMO with production, manage resource planning and talent, support proposals and technical trade-offs, ensure ERP data integrity, remove shop-floor bottlenecks, mitigate program risk, and oversee on-time delivery while partnering across Engineering, Manufacturing, Quality, and Supply Chain. Travel as needed.

Join R&D teams to design, build, and test high-temperature materials and hardware for aerospace. Assist with CAD modeling, experimental setups, instrumentation and data acquisition, analyze experimental data, perform guided thermal/structural analyses, support prototype integration, and document results for technical reports.

Lead cross-functional teams to deliver thermal protection solutions from concept through production. Act as technical liaison to customers and partners, manage risks, schedules, budgets, KPIs, and joint development efforts; support proposals, track program health, and occasionally travel to test and customer sites.

Manage key customer relationships for launch services, acting as TPS subject-matter expert and solutions architect. Coordinate cross-functional teams, support procurement/contracts, develop technical workplans with engineers, respond to RFQs/order changes, and ensure on-time, on-budget delivery for space launch programs.
