About the Position:We are seeking a skilled and driven Project Manager to lead cross-functional teams in executing complex aerospace and technology programs. This role sits within the Program Management Office (PMO) and focuses on planning, coordination, schedule execution, risk/issue management, and supporting milestone readiness for projects across avionics, payload, ground systems, structures, testing, and mission operations.
The ideal candidate is a proactive, detail-oriented PM who thrives in ambiguity, drives accountability without friction, and can operate in a fast-paced hardware/software development environment. They don't just track tasks - they lead projects forward, anticipate challenges, and ensure progress happens.
What You'll Do:Drive Execution- Own the project plan and schedule, ensuring visibility of dependencies and critical path.
- Lead cross-functional working sessions, drive decisions, and follow through on actions.
- Anticipate risks, remove roadblocks, and escalate early when needed.
Lead Cross-Functional Collaboration- Partner closely with engineering, operations, supply chain, and mission teams.
- Break down complex technical goals into actionable work, clear owners, and deadlines.
- Influence without authority - build alignment through clarity and communication.
Project Controls & Milestones- Manage RAID logs (Risks, Actions, Issues, Decisions) and status reporting.
- Ensure milestone readiness (SRR, PDR, CDR, FWR, FLO), coordinating required artifacts.
- Maintain strong documentation and requirements traceability in Confluence/Jira.
Improve PMO Processes- Create and evolve templates, reporting, dashboards, and standard operating rhythms.
- Support continuous improvement and help mature project management practices across Sceye.
What We're Looking For:Required:- Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Project Management, Business, or a related field.
- 5+ years of experience managing complex technical or operational projects.
- Demonstrated ability to lead cross-functional teams and move work forward without direct authority.
- Strong scheduling, planning, and risk management experience.
- Proficiency with Jira, Confluence, MS Project (or equivalent tools).
- High ownership mindset - proactive, organized, able to anticipate needs and remove roadblocks.
- Exceptional organizational, analytical, and communication skills.
- Able to manage multiple priorities and stakeholders in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.
Preferred:- PMP, Agile Certification, or other relevant project management certification.
- Experience in aerospace, manufacturing, or high-tech environments.
- Familiarity with systems engineering and product development lifecycles.
- Demonstrated success leading cross-functional teams from concept through completion.
Who You Are- A doer who creates momentum - not a task-tracker.
- Comfortable navigating ambiguity, structuring chaos, and driving alignment.
- Confident, decisive, and unafraid to escalate risks or challenge assumptions.
- Builds trust quickly and leads through influence rather than authority.
- Thrives in fast-paced environments where priorities move and things evolve rapidly.

- Chef-Prepared Lunches - Fresh, onsite meals to keep you fueled and focused.
- Snacks & Refreshments - Enjoy a variety of snacks and drinks available throughout the day.
