Job description
Eleven Recruiting is searching for a Senior Program Manager — Propulsion Systems on behalf of a leading defense hardware manufacturer specializing in mission-critical systems across missiles, hypersonics, and integrated defense programs. The role is onsite and sits within a propulsion-focused Integrated Product Team (IPT), reporting directly to the IPT Lead. This PM owns full programmatic execution — cost, schedule, EVM, customer interface, and contract deliverables — for a portfolio of propulsion and ordnance-adjacent hardware programs. You will be the day-to-day face of the program to the customer and the primary driver of delivery across engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, and quality.
Responsibilities:
  • Own programmatic execution across propulsion and energetics programs — cost, schedule, and deliverables in support of the IPT Lead.
  • Serve as the primary customer interface for technical interchange meetings, design reviews, CDRs/PDRs, and status reporting.
  • Develop and maintain EVM metrics; report CPI/SPI, variance analysis, and EAC forecasts to leadership and customers.
  • Build and maintain integrated master schedules tracking critical path and dependencies across cross-functional teams.
  • Coordinate qualification and acceptance testing; support TRRs, anomaly documentation, and test report preparation.
  • Manage subcontract and supplier activity in coordination with procurement.
  • Support ITAR compliance, proposal writing, BOE development, and new business activities.
Qualifications: Required
  • B.S. in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or related technical field.
  • 10+ years in aerospace and/or defense; 3+ years in program management.
  • Background in energetics, propulsion, or defense-focused hardware — candidates from commercial flight programs are not the target profile for this role.
  • Demonstrated EVM experience — CPI/SPI, variance analysis, EAC forecasting.
  • Integrated master schedule experience across cross-functional teams.
  • Direct customer interface experience at formal program reviews.
  • U.S. citizenship; ability to obtain and maintain DoD SECRET clearance.
Preferred
  • Experience taking a solid rocket motor through development and/or qualification testing.
  • Familiarity with pyrotechnic, ordnance-adjacent, or precision mechanical defense hardware.
  • Manufacturing familiarity — small batch machining and processing in a defense environment.
  • MIL-SPEC / MIL-STD qualification experience for airborne or ground-based hardware.
  • Prime contractor or government program experience (MDA, USAF, USN, Raytheon, L3Harris, Northrop, Aerojet).
  • Subcontract and supply chain management on government contracts.
  • M.S. in a technical discipline or MBA.
  • AS9100-certified manufacturing environment experience.

Salary: $150,000 - $170,000
