Vantor is a place for problem solvers, changemakers, and go-getters—where people are working together to help our customers see the world differently, and in doing so, be seen differently. Come be part of a mission, not just a job, where you can: Shape your own future, build the next big thing, and change the world.\n\nTo be eligible for this position, you must be a U.S. Person, defined as a U.S. citizen, permanent resident, Asylee, or Refugee.\n\nExport Control/ITAR: Certain roles may be subject to U.S. export control laws, requiring U.S. person status as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3).\n\nPlease review the job details below.\n\nWe are seeking a Constellation Integration Program Manager to own end-to-end program execution and integration across a complex satellite constellation—from spacecraft acquisition and development through ground systems, communications, system integration and verification, launch and deployment, commissioning, mission operations, and integration with the broader portfolio.\n\nYou will treat the constellation as an integrated mission capability, not a collection of independent programs. You will connect space, ground, network, operations, suppliers, customers, and external partners into a single executable program and maintain an accurate picture of cost, schedule, technical performance, dependencies, risk, and operational readiness across $100M+ efforts.\n\nThis is a technically engaged execution role, not a process-management or status-reporting position. You will work directly with engineering and operational teams to understand the architecture, critical interfaces, technical maturity, integration sequence, and failure modes behind the plan. You do not need to be the deepest subject-matter expert in every discipline, but you must understand complex technical systems well enough to ask hard questions, challenge assumptions, connect issues across organizational boundaries, and recognize when apparently local problems threaten the broader mission.\n\nYou will establish the integrated execution framework for the constellation, identify critical-path and cross-segment dependencies, drive decisions, remove blockers, and surface problems before they become crises. When execution moves off plan, you will help teams build credible recovery options and drive them to closure.\n\nSuccess means the complete constellation capability works and becomes operational when we say it will—not simply that individual programs, contracts, or milestones report green.\nOur environment is fast-moving, technically demanding, and highly collaborative. We expect clear communication, ownership, integrity, intellectual curiosity, sound judgment, and a bias toward execution. Strong performers use facts, build bridges across disciplines, make decisions with imperfect information, learn quickly, and deliver on commitments. They get into the details when necessary, remain calm when programs encounter problems, and take responsibility for moving the mission forward.\n\nMinimum Qualifications\n\nMust be a U.S. Citizen and able to obtain security clearance.\n10+ years of experience executing complex, multidisciplinary technical programs involving hardware, software, systems engineering, integration, test, operations, or similarly complex engineered systems.\nDemonstrated ownership of major technical programs, integrated portfolios, or mission capabilities with significant cost, schedule, technical, supplier, and operational complexity; experience with programs or portfolios at the $100M+ scale strongly preferred.\nExperience integrating multiple system elements into a cohesive operational capability rather than managing a single isolated product or workstream.\nDemonstrated ability to establish and maintain an integrated program architecture spanning technical milestones, acquisition and supplier activities, development, integration, verification, deployment, and operational readiness.\nExperience developing and actively managing integrated master schedules, critical paths, cross-program dependencies, major milestones, resource constraints, and schedule risk.\nDemonstrated ability to establish and manage program baselines, including work breakdown structures, cost and schedule performance, forecasts, estimates to complete, and recovery plans.\nExperience managing technical, cost, schedule, integration, supplier, operational, and external dependency risks and opportunities.\nDemonstrated ability to translate engineering development, integration, verification, test, and operational activities into measurable program milestones, entrance/exit criteria, and decision points.\nExperience driving execution across systems engineering, hardware, software, integration and test, mission operations, acquisition, supply chain, finance, customers, suppliers, and external partners without relying solely on positional authority.\nAbility to understand complex system architectures and interfaces well enough to challenge assumptions, identify hidden dependencies, recognize emerging integration problems, and facilitate technically informed decisions.\nExperience managing external suppliers, acquisition activities, subcontractors, or development partners whose performance directly affects overall system delivery.\nExperience supporting major technical reviews, system integration and test campaigns, readiness assessments, customer milestones, deployment activities, or equivalent program decision events.\nDemonstrated ability to identify off-plan performance early, determine the underlying drivers, and develop credible recovery or return-to-green strategies.\nStrong executive communication skills with the ability to provide concise, transparent, decision-ready assessments of technical progress, cost, schedule, risk, tradeoffs, and decisions required.\nProven ability to operate effectively in ambiguous and rapidly changing environments while maintaining accountability for outcomes and commitments.\nBachelor's degree in engineering, physics, computer science, or another relevant technical discipline, or equivalent demonstrated technical experience.\n\nPreferred Qualifications\nThe following qualifications are valuable indicators of fit for this role but are not required. We are more interested in demonstrated ability to lead complex technical programs, integrate across organizational and system boundaries, and deliver results than in checking every box.\n\nDirect exposure to satellite constellations or similarly complex mission systems, with familiarity across the end-to-end space lifecycle—including spacecraft and payload development or acquisition, ground and communications systems, system integration and verification, launch and deployment, commissioning, mission operations, and integration with broader mission architectures.\nStrong understanding of system-level integration and the technical, programmatic, supplier, and operational dependencies that connect multiple hardware and software elements into a delivered capability.\nWorking knowledge of Integrated Master Plans/Integrated Master Schedules, WBS development, critical-path analysis, schedule risk assessment, and resource-loaded planning.\nFluency with program financial management, including cost forecasting, EAC/ETC development, and objective assessment of cost and schedule performance\nAbility to manage technical baselines and configuration changes when decisions affect interfaces, cost, schedule, verification, deployment, or mission performance.\nDemonstrated success managing major suppliers, subcontractors, long-lead procurements, production dependencies, or external development partners.\nStrong judgment in identifying leading indicators, anticipating execution problems, and developing practical contingency and recovery strategies before issues become major program impacts.\nBackground in commercial space, aerospace, autonomy, robotics, advanced manufacturing, automotive/motorsports, energy systems, or another high-performance engineering environment where complex hardware and software must be integrated and delivered on aggressive timelines.\nPMP or equivalent program-management certification is beneficial but is not a substitute for demonstrated technical-program execution, judgment, and ownership.\n\n#LI-MG1\n\nPay Transparency: To support pay transparency, Vantor includes salary ranges in all U.S. job postings. Starting pay for this role will fall within the listed range and will be based on factors such as experience, qualifications, skills, location, and market conditions.
