Ready to make connectivity from space universally accessible, secure and actionable? Then you’ve come to the right place!
E-Space is bridging Earth and space to enable hyper-scaled deployments of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions and services. We are building a highly-advanced low Earth orbit (LEO) space system that will fundamentally change the design, economics, manufacturing and service delivery associated with traditional satellite and terrestrial IoT systems.
We’re intentional, we’re unapologetically curious and we’re 100% committed to innovate space-based communications and deliver actionable intelligence that will expand global economies, protect space and our planet and enhance our overall quality of life.
The Technical Program Manager, Software Integration, will lead the planning, execution, and delivery of software development projects across focus on tracking schedules, managing documentation, monitoring risk, and reporting progress across various software teams. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in the aerospace industry and the development of flight software, ground software or RF Comms Software. They will ensure that program objectives are met through meticulous attention to detail in project execution and communication.
This position will report to the Senior Director, Technical Program Management in our Saratoga, CA Office. They will manage software development projects across the organization. They will work collaborate closely with Software Team Leads, and Software Integration Engineers, and cross-functional stakeholders.
What you will do:
- Drive planning, scheduling, and tracking for all software development activities (flight software, ground software, test harnesses, simulation tooling, etc.).
- Manage program timelines, milestones, risk registers, and dependencies across multiple engineering groups.
- Support the software integration & test lead by managing coordinating workstreams, task prioritization, and cross-team communication.
- Ensure test artifacts (procedures, test cases, results) remain organized, traceable, and aligned with requirements.
- Track issues found in integration or system testing and coordinate resolution with responsible engineering teams.
- Serve as the central point of communication connective tissue between software, RF systems, spacecraft avionics, mission operations, and hardware teams.
- Facilitate clear communication and regularly update leadership on team status, risks, and blockers.
- Implement lightweight but effective processes for tracking work, versioning, documentation, and verification.
- Regularly update leadership on program status, risks, and blockers.
