Voyager Technologies is seeking an experienced Project Manager to lead advanced programs focused on lunar technologies and missions. This role sits at the intersection of mission concept development, technology roadmapping, and hands-on engineering execution for next-generation lunar landers, surface systems, and spacecraft. You will own end-to-end mission concept budgets and schedules for NASA, government, and commercial customers, directly shaping the technologies and architectures that drive Voyager's lunar pursuits. Key responsibilities include developing comprehensive program budgets and schedules for lunar landers, rovers, surface power systems, and spacecraft; supporting proposal content creation for mission opportunities and internal development programs; contributing to programmatic planning around schedules, resourcing, risks, and budget estimations; and communicating across engineering disciplines, partners, customers, and vendors to resolve technical risks. You will build bottoms-up estimates including bills of materials, cash flow models, and labor estimates. You'll participate in customer visits and technical interchange meetings, run internal early-stage technology development projects and paid architecture studies, and ensure project schedules and budgets align with mission needs and company technology roadmaps. Required: Bachelor's degree in Finance, Engineering, or related field plus 5–10 years of relevant engineering experience (advanced degree may substitute). Demonstrated expertise in project/program management, project finance, and program planning. Experience developing programmatic content for proposals and customer presentations, authoring financial and contractual volumes, and strong understanding of launch, space, and lunar environments. Strong organizational, multi-tasking, and problem-solving skills with ability to self-start. Excellent communication skills and ability to work effectively in fast-paced, changing environments. Desired: Understanding of full development lifecycle for large complex aerospace systems; experience with large NASA or USG proposals and contracts; knowledge of NASA/industry engineering standards; experience in agile environments with tools like Confluence and Jira; eligibility for U.S. security clearance.
