Technical Program Manager, Orion - Reporting to the CTO

Coordinate Orion execution across science, engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, integration, commissioning, and operations readiness. Help subunit owners assemble and maintain an integrated Orion-level plan, while making clear that each owner remains responsible for their own schedule, scope, and commitments. Identify cross-team dependencies, interface risks, schedule conflicts, and unresolved ownership gaps. Ensure major technical decisions are surfaced quickly, framed clearly, and escalated to the right leader or executive when needed. Highlight technical tradeoffs involving performance, schedule, risk, manufacturability, cost, reliability, and operability. Drive the cadence for Orion coordination meetings, technical reviews, dependency reviews, and executive decision forums. Maintain visibility into the plant-level critical path by integrating inputs from responsible owners, not by replacing their ownership of detailed schedules. Track major risks, blockers, open decisions, and readiness gaps across the Orion program. Ensure decisions and changes are communicated clearly to all affected teams. Partner with systems engineering, integration engineering, production scheduling, and technical leads to connect their work into one coherent Orion execution picture. Provide a concise, accurate view of Orion status, including what is blocked, what decisions are needed, where risks are increasing, and where executive help is required. Build the TPM function for Orion as the program scales, including standards for dependency tracking, decision logs, risk reviews, readiness gates, and executive reporting. Benefits include medical, dental, and vision plans, 31 days of PTO, 10 paid holidays, 401(k) match, disability and life insurance, paid parental leave, and an annual wellness stipend.
