Aalyria is a leading aerospace technology company specializing in laser communications and temporospatial software-defined networking platforms for satellite and airborne mesh networks, including cislunar and deep-space communications. The company acquired technology from Google and is revolutionizing the orchestration and management of planetary mesh networks across land, sea, air, and space.
We are seeking a Technical Program Manager to drive end-to-end execution across the Spacetime engineering program and customer deliverables. You will serve as the critical linchpin between internal engineering teams and customers, excelling at "getting things done through others" without direct authority. You will leverage deep understanding of software and engineering needs to drive delivery and interface directly with high-level customer stakeholders.
Key responsibilities include:
• Own program planning and execution for software product integration, guiding projects through mission phases
• Act as the primary programmatic interface with customers, communicating effectively with executives and technical stakeholders
• Run cross-functional operating rhythms (kickoffs, weekly reviews, exec readouts) to keep Product, Engineering, Design, and Solutions Engineering aligned on status, risks, and decisions
• Translate customer requirements into actionable engineering plans, ensuring delivery expectations remain clear as scope evolves
• Take full ownership of Time & Materials (T&M) contract reporting, tracking and submitting monthly reports on labor, subcontracts, hardware, materials, and travel at the Master Equipment List (MEL) level
• Identify schedule, scope, and dependency risks early, escalate with context, and coordinate mitigations with Engineering Leads
• Coordinate delivery across varying environments (development, staging, and dedicated public or government cloud production instances)
You do not need to be a software engineer, but you must possess sufficient exposure to the software lifecycle to accurately guide technical teams. This role requires strong stakeholder management, program execution discipline, and the ability to navigate complex aerospace customer requirements.
