* Experience with logic-linked scheduling and cost-account management, risk management, and configuration management
* Strong written and verbal communication skills
* Must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum

Desired:

* Experience with space flight hardware or human spaceflight
* PMP credential or equivalent
* Experience across multiple portions of the product life cycle (pre-conceptual design through field support)
* Experience with fault-tolerance strategies for safety and mission critical systems
* Familiarity with version control (e.g. git/gitlab, mercurial, subversion)
* Experience with collaboration tools such as Confluence and JIRA
* Working knowledge in the use of 3-D CAD tools (ProEngineer is preferred) and configuration and data management software (Windchill, DOORS)
* Experience with generating staffing plans, hiring, and team building
