Job description

Senior Program Manager

Quantum Space is redefining mobility and maneuverability in space. Our high-mobility Ranger spacecraft platforms support national security, civil, and commercial missions with unmatched flexibility and propulsion capability. We build fast and iterate quickly and we're looking for a Senior Program Manager who has put hardware in orbit and is ready to do it again, faster and leaner.

This role is for a senior technologist-turned-program-manager: someone with deep roots in systems engineering, spacecraft I&T, or instrument development who has grown into full technical, cost, and schedule ownership of a space mission. You've led programs through early architectures and trades, major development reviews (SRR, PDR, CDR, etc.), and flight. You know how to lead cross-functional teams of 30 to 200+ people, engage credibly in technical reviews, and make hard trade-offs under real constraints.

Own full technical, cost, and schedule accountability for spacecraft and subsystem development

Lead cross-functional delivery across engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, integration, and test from early development through launch and commissioning

Develop and maintain integrated program plans, IMS, milestones, and delivery commitments to internal stakeholders and external customers

Identify program risks, dependencies, and resource constraints and drive mitigation to closure, not just documentation

Own customer engagements, milestone reviews (SRR, PDR, CDR, etc.), and internal program reporting

Bring execution discipline and mission assurance rigor to a fast-paced, rapidly evolving commercial environment

Contribute to proposal development and business capture as the company scales its program portfolio

Bachelor's degree or higher in engineering, physics, or a closely related technical discipline

7+ years of project or program management experience on satellite or spacecraft missions, including at least one that reached launch or on-orbit operations

Technical depth in systems engineering, I&T, or instrument development enough to engage meaningfully with your engineering team

Proven ability to lead cross-functional, hardware-intensive programs through formal government or commercial milestone reviews

Strong experience managing schedules, budgets, and execution trade-offs under real cost and schedule constraints

Ability to operate effectively in a mission-driven, high-accountability environment where outcomes are visible to the customer from day one

Experience in rapid development, prototype-to-production, or non-traditional acquisition environments

Proposal development experience writing or managing competitive responses to government AOs or RFPs

Familiarity with mission assurance standards, ITAR/export control requirements, and national security mission contexts

Active U.S. Top Secret or TS/SCI clearance, or clear eligibility to obtain one

Leadership Own execution for a high-visibility national security mission with direct customer accountability

Impact Deliver systems that directly support critical space and defense objectives from a company that ships

Growth Opportunities to scale programs, build teams, and shape how Quantum Space operates as we move from prototype to production

Compensation Competitive base salary, meaningful equity, and top-tier benefits including medical, dental, vision, generous leave, HSA, 401(k) matching, and equity sharing

Location: Rockville, MD or Hawthorne CA

Base Salary: $180,000 to $225,000

To comply with U.S. Government space technology export regulations, including ITAR, applicants must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident, protected individual per 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3), or eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.
