Who you are

- Bachelor's degree in engineering or another relevant technical discipline

- 4+ years of experience in hardware development, project engineering, technical leadership, or a related engineering role

- Experience developing and delivering complex hardware through multiple stages of the product lifecycle

- Technical depth in at least one hardware discipline sufficient to understand designs, interrogate engineering evidence, and reach independent conclusions

- Strong understanding of hardware architecture, development, manufacturing, integration, verification, qualification, and test

- Demonstrated ability to lead multidisciplinary teams and drive outcomes across organizational boundaries

- Experience managing schedule, priorities, dependencies, risk, and completion of complex technical work

- Strong communication, problem-solving, organization, and engineering judgment

- Electrical or electronics engineering background

- Experience developing RF, radio, communications, or antenna hardware

- Experience developing spacecraft, aerospace, or other mission-critical hardware

- Experience managing external suppliers through development and delivery

- Experience transitioning hardware from development into repeatable production

What the job involves

- The Product Realization Team is Kepler's hardware execution team

- We turn product architectures into qualified, integration-ready, and repeatable producible flight hardware

- We are seeking a Technical Project Manager – Hardware to lead the realization and delivery of spacecraft hardware products





- As the clear point of accountability for your assigned products, you will lead an Integrated Product Team (IPT) and own the end-to-end execution required to deliver hardware that meets its technical and programmatic requirements
- The ideal candidate combines a strong engineering foundation with a bias for action and a high degree of ownership

- You are comfortable leading multidisciplinary teams, navigating technical and programmatic challenges, making decisions, and finding creative ways around obstacles to deliver results

- This position will primarily support RF and communications hardware, including radios and antennas

- Experience developing electrical, electronic, RF, or communications hardware is particularly valuable

- Product Ownership & Delivery

- Own the successful realization and delivery of assigned spacecraft hardware products from definition through qualification and production

- Lead the Integrated Product Team responsible for product development, build, integration, verification, and delivery

- Own product scope, schedule, cost, risk, and completion status, identifying divergence early and driving recovery actions where required

- Balance technical performance, quality, schedule, cost,



manufacturability, and risk to achieve successful product outcomes

- Ensure product readiness and delivery decisions are supported by appropriate engineering and verification evidence

- Integrated Execution
- Bring together the people, plans, suppliers, builds, and verification activities required to deliver the product

- Coordinate priorities, interfaces, dependencies, and decisions across engineering and supporting functions

- Identify and burn down product risks, drive issues to closure, and remove obstacles to execution

- Work with Architects and technical leads to turn product requirements and technical direction into executable development plans

- Lead product activities through development milestones and readiness reviews

- Communicate product status, risks, challenges, and recovery plans clearly across technical and program stakeholders

- Team & Execution Excellence

- Build alignment and drive outcomes across multidisciplinary teams without relying on direct reporting authority

- Promote a culture of ownership, accountability, collaboration, and bias for action within the IPT

- Drive adherence to Kepler's product development, engineering, configuration management, quality, and verification processes

- Capture lessons learned and contribute to improving how Kepler develops and delivers spacecraft hardware
