Staff Technical Program Manager - Quantum Sensing

About the role

We are looking for a Staff Technical Program Manager to lead complex, cross-functional programs across the complete product lifecycle: early technology development, new technology introduction, new product introduction, production ramp, sustainment, and end-of-life sunsetting.

Responsibilities

• Lead the full technical lifecycle for complex quantum programs from technology maturation and R&D through production, customer delivery, and field sustainment.
• Build and own the "Integrated Master Schedule" (IMS) and execution plans that synchronize engineering, supply chain, manufacturing, and quality requirements.
• Drive the transition of quantum technologies from prototype to production, ensuring manufacturing readiness, site requirements, and scalable handoffs.
• Manage programmatic financials, including labor/non-labor forecasting, variance analysis, and "Estimate at Completion" (EAC) to ensure fiscal discipline.
• Proactively identify and mitigate technical, operational, and supply chain risks while managing cross-functional dependencies and decision logs.
• Serve as the primary technical interface, translating complex programmatic details into clear status updates, dashboards, and recommendations for executives and customers.
• Establish scalable operating mechanisms for program governance (e.g., launch readiness reviews) and mentor junior TPMs to elevate the organization's execution standards.

Requirements

• Over 15 years of experience leading complex, integrated hardware/software programs from R&D/prototyping through NPI, high-volume production, and global customer deployment.
• Proven ability to independently manage programmatic financials (EAC, labor/non-labor forecasting, variance management, and revenue inputs), including direct experience with Earned Value Management (EVM) and serving as a Control Account Manager (CAM) or similar to ensure alignment with programmatic governance standards.
• Proven success as a primary technical interface, capable of synchronizing diverse teams (e.g. Engineering, Supply Chain, and Finance) while effectively communicating program health and strategic recommendations to executives and federal/commercial customers.
