From LeoLabs, Inc.'s posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
Why LeoLabs?
At LeoLabs, we’re building the living map of activity in space. Through our proprietary global radar network and AI-enabled analytics platform, we collect millions of measurements daily on more than 25,000 objects in low Earth orbit (LEO). Our radar-powered intelligence protects billions in assets, monitors adversarial behavior, and ensures safe operations for commercial and government missions.
We’re not just building technology, we are redefining global security, safety, and transparency in space. As orbital activity accelerates and threats grow more complex, LeoLabs is a trusted partner for Space Domain Awareness, Space Traffic Management, and Satellite Operations for top-tier space operators and allied defense organizations.
If you're looking to work on mission-critical challenges at the forefront of aerospace, national security, and AI, your impact starts here.
LeoLabs is seeking a Senior Director, Radar Technical Program Management to lead the integrated technical execution of our most complex radar, hardware, production, and infrastructure programs.
This role is a senior technical leadership role responsible for coalescing the entire Radar organization around a single, credible execution plan which will be visible across the enterprise. The role operates across the Radar organization, spanning radar systems engineering, RF and electromechanical engineering, software and embedded systems, supply chain, manufacturing, EHS, site development, integration, test, operations, and maintenance.
You will also partner closely with Product, customer-facing Program Management, Finance, and other cross-functional teams. You will translate product objectives and customer commitments into credible engineering plans, identify system-level dependencies, resolve blockers, and own the integrated execution plan of record from development through operational deployment.
You will initially lead several high-priority initiatives and, as the portfolio grows, build and lead a small team of technically credible program leaders.
Success in this role requires technical depth, engineering judgment, systems thinking, practical hardware-development experience, and the ability to engage credibly with senior engineers while driving complex programs to measurable outcomes.
Within 30 days, you will develop a working understanding of LeoLabs’ radar systems, active programs, deployments, and operating models, and begin leading one or two priority programs.
Within 90 days, you will establish integrated plans for priority initiatives, create visibility into milestones and critical paths, implement a decision-oriented program review, and introduce practical readiness and risk-management practices.
Within six months, you will improve coordination across engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, infrastructure, deployment, and operations; establish credible baselines and forecasts; and build appropriate TPM coverage for priority programs.
Within twelve months, you will own and operate a trusted technical program-management capability supporting radar products, commercial hardware, research and development, production, deployment, and sustaining initiatives. Functional leaders will spend less time acting as de facto project managers. LeoLabs leadership will have a credible view of the Radar organization’s full technical execution schedule, risks, and resource constraints.
