Engineering Program Manager
Job description
You will own the execution framework for our product development programs: the integrated schedule, the risk register, the dependency map, and the release readiness plan. You will work alongside Product Owners and Engineering Leads who own the technical decisions, and you will make sure those decisions are visible, sequenced, and funded.
This is an execution leadership role. You will not be the technical decision-maker, and you will not manage engineers directly. You will be the person leadership turns to when they need to know whether the program is actually going to make its date.
Ghost Robotics builds legged robots for defense, security, and industrial customers operating in environments…
Job requirements
- 7+ years running complex engineering development programs, including integrated hardware and software.
- Working fluency with integrated master schedules, critical path analysis, and formal risk management.
- Experience driving a physical product through release, not just a software release train.
- The ability to hold a room of senior engineers to a commitment through credibility rather than reporting lines.
- Bachelor's degree in engineering or a related technical field, or equivalent experience.
