About the role

This is a Chief Engineer role, not a CTO role.
We are not asking you to run corporate strategy, board and investor relations, or company wide P&L.
We are asking you to be the defining technical voice on the radar and to make the nonstandard calls.

Own radar and RF system architecture from end to end, including link and radar budgets, waveform and phased array decisions, and overall RF performance
Run programs to cost and schedule, own technical risk, and manage subcontractors, vendors, and teams across mechanical, electrical, and software.
You will own the technical direction and performance of Mithril's radar and RF systems and be accountable for delivering programs on cost and schedule.
Skillcloud HCM Solutions has been engaged to manage this search.

Required for all candidates (ITAR).
You have architected a radar or RF hardware program from end to end (for example SAR, AESA and phased arrays, active or passive radar, or EW payloads).
Proven technical program management: you have led a program or IPT to cost and schedule, owning technical risk and subcontractors.
A track record of shipping fielded hardware, not just study phase work.

Active U.S. security clearance (Secret, TS, or TS/SCI), a significant accelerant but not required.
Spaceborne or new space experience, including smallsat power, mass, and schedule constraints.
A plus, and explicitly not required.
No Phone Calls or Recruiters, Please.

Engage upstream of the spec, shaping requirements and working directly with customers.
