Program Manager

EnduroSat is a fast-growing space scale-up at the forefront of satellite innovation, specializing in advanced software-flexible satellites for commercial, governmental, and scientific endeavors.

This is more than a job, its a mission. We are making space universally accessible and redefining the possible.

We get things done. We take ownership of what we do and we work hard to make a difference.

We are fearless. Transparency is our only way forward. We dare to address and resolve issues head-on.

We learn from our mistakes. We deliver, take informed risks, and evolve to achieve our goals. We compare with the best version of ourselves.

What is the role?

As a Program Manager, you will lead the successful execution of end-to-end satellite programs for our customers. You will be responsible for overseeing the planning, execution, and delivery of satellite programs from contract award through on-orbit operations. This is a cross-functional role requiring deep coordination between engineering, manufacturing, testing, launch, and operations teams. The Program Manager will ensure program objectives are met with respect to technical performance, schedule, financial controls, and customer satisfaction. The ideal candidate will have a strong technical background, financial acumen, and demonstrated leadership in managing complex aerospace programs.

This role is based in Denver, Colorado, where we are building a high-performing and fast-paced team. The position will be primarily on-site and in person at the office, with occasional travel visiting our headquarters in Europe.

  • Develop and manage program budgets and track actuals against forecasts
  • Create and maintain detailed program schedules, identifying critical paths and dependencies
  • Proactively manage risks and develop mitigation strategies to maintain schedule timelines
  • Prepare and deliver program status reports, executive briefings, and customer updates
  • Ensure all deliverable items are produced at high quality and delivered on time

What do we look for?

  • Bachelor's degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related technical field. (Master's preferred)
  • 7+ years of experience in aerospace or satellite systems, including 3+ years in program or project management roles
  • End-to-end satellite development and mission experience from design through operations

  • Demonstrated ability to manage cross-functional teams and deliver results under tight timelines
  • Experience with small satellite platforms, launch operations, or space mission operations
  • Work experience as a systems engineer on a satellite development or expertise on at least one major satellite subsystem (e.g., ADCS, C&DH)
  • Strong knowledge of aerospace lifecycle processes, including systems engineering, manufacturing, AIT, and launch integration
  • Ability to help organize and manage a team of personnel, develop program schedules, and control budgets to meet required deadlines
  • Ability to communicate across organizational boundaries and levels
  • Familiarity with government or commercial satellite contracts and compliance requirements
  • Excellent leadership, communication, and interpersonal skills with a proactive and collaborative mindset
  • Strong financial competencies in areas like budget planning, cost analysis, and variance reporting

  • Willingness to travel to US and European locations
  • Based in the Denver area, or willing to relocate
  • Why EnduroSat?

  • Fast-paced and delivery-focused culture. We work with well-defined quarterly based objectives, that allow us to fast-track the progression of our work and improve as we go

  • Constant learning and progression. Own your personal growth by navigating through our career progression framework and educational programs

  • What do we offer?

  • Health insurance coverage
  • Matching 401k plan
  • Generous team performance-based bonus
  • Collaboration with EnduroSat offices in Europe
  • Salary range : $150,000 - $210,000 per year. The state of Colorado requires listing salary details. The salary will likely be within this range although it may differ based on experience level or other factors.
