About this role
Redwire is a company focused on aerospace and engineering solutions, and they are seeking a Technical Project Manager to lead program-level technical coordination across multiple engineering teams. This role involves ensuring synchronization of all disciplines toward key program milestones and deliverables while mentoring the broader Project Engineering team.
Responsibilities:
- Lead technical integration across multiple subsystems or entire vehicle-level engineering efforts
- Develop and maintain the engineering execution plan, including multi-workstream schedules, integration checkpoints, build / release and milestone readiness tracking criteria
- Ensure cross-functional alignment by running structured coordination cadences across hardware, software, systems, avionics, test, and manufacturing
- Own technical readiness for engineering reviews (CoDR, PDR, CDR, TRR), ensuring all disciplines meet entry/exit criteria
- Serve as the primary engineering integration counterpart to Program Management, providing visibility into progress, constraints, required decisions and software delivery risk across integration, regression, configuration and schedule
- Coordinate engineering deliverables that span multiple IPTs or disciplines, ensuring consistency and preventing disconnects
- Influence requirement interpretation, design impacts, and verification planning alongside systems engineering
- Plan and coordinate system-level integration events, prototype builds, lab testing, flight test preparation and production release activities
- Identify roadblocks and bottlenecks to project execution and determine a course of action to eliminate or avoid them
- Develop and implement recovery plans for off-schedule and unanticipated events
- Drive structured communication practices across all teams, ensuring predictable updates, clear next steps, and documentation continuity for software releases and configuration / change documentation
Requirements:
- Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Project Management, Technical Management, Systems Engineering or a related analytical field required
- 7–10 years of experience in delivering software initiatives through project engineering, technical program coordination or engineering operations
- Demonstrated capability leading complex, multi-disciplinary engineering efforts, major product subsystems or software programs with significant integration scope
- Aerospace, UAS, robotics, or high-integration hardware/software industry experience
- Deep understanding of software and system engineering lifecycles, design reviews and verification processes
- Ability to interpret system architectures, interface definitions, and technical requirements across domains
- Expertise building and maintaining multi-layered schedules and integration sequences
- Strong competency leading cross-functional meetings and producing structured technical documentation
- Experience coordinating software integration activities, lab integration, system-level testing or flight test readiness
- High-level communication and stakeholder management skills, especially with senior engineers and leadership teams
- Strong analytical thinking and ability to foresee integration issues before they manifest
- Exceptional organizational discipline, able to wrangle ambiguity into structured plans
- Able to influence without authority and facilitate agreement across functions
- Demonstrated leadership within engineering execution; capable of mentoring and uplifting the broader PE team
- Masters degree in engineering, systems engineering, or project management, computer science or other related discipline
- Training or certification in systems engineering or project management (PMP/CAPM/INCOSE ASEP)
- Experience coordinating across multiple development sites or distributed engineering teams
- Background supporting system-level verification campaigns, flight test phases, or major integration events that include software and system readiness
- Experience supporting customer-facing technical integration meetings
- Familiarity with requirements management tools (DOORS, Jama, JIRA Align)
- Experience with PLM/PDM systems, configuration control, and engineering change management
- Ability to synthesize verification data, requirements flowdown, interface definitions and software impacts
- Strong ability to communicate upward to directors, CTO-level leadership, and external partners
- Highly adept at modeling 'how information should flow' across complex programs
- Ability to maintain composure and structure in high-uncertainty or fast-moving environments
