As a Kepler Program Manager, you will own program execution and implement high-level program initiatives to grow and nurture our global partnerships and maintain our upward trajectory of success and growth. Ultimately, if you are motivated by the desire to optimize productivity and nurture program success from inception to completion; you are flexible and adaptive to a rapidly evolving work environment.

In this role, you will oversee the preparation and coordination of technical iterations upon our ÆTHER spacecraft, commissioning plans, flight software development, and GNC (guidance, navigation, and control) capabilities to ensure successful demonstration of Kepler’s on-orbit objectives. This will be in support of the design, development, and build of our Tranche-2 ring of spacecraft.

You will be a key leader, partnering closely with our Engineering and Operations organizations to manage on-time and on-budget execution of these imperative efforts from program kickoff to handoff to operations. Additionally, you may be a key member of proposal teams for any opportunities that involve the development or modification of flight software, commissioning, or operations of space vehicles.
