We build autonomous spacecraft, advanced payloads, mission software, and space-based interceptors - enabling the U.S. and its Allies to secure the space environment and counter threats from the ultimate high ground.
Be the offset. We create asymmetric advantages with creativity and ingenuity.
What would it take? We challenge assumptions to deliver ambitious results.
It's the people. Our team is our competitive advantage and we are better together.
As Director, Production and Test Engineering, you will lead the Denver-based team of technicians, production engineers, test engineers, and manufacturing engineers to deliver fully qualified spacecraft on aggressive timelines.
You will own the build and test processes, schedules, and capacity planning required to execute production commitments.
You will partner closely with Program Management and Engineering to provide inputs to the Integrated Master Schedule (IMS), align capacity with demand, and drive disciplined execution against production milestones.
This role requires both strategic foresight and hands-on leadership: setting standards, driving automation, solving problems, and developing people to their full potential while ensuring every spacecraft meets mission assurance standards.
