Position: Technical Program Manager, Missile Defense

Overview GITAI is a space robotics company building robotic systems for orbital, lunar, and defense applications. The Technical Program Manager, Missile Defense is an individual contributor role supporting GITAI’s Space-Based Interceptor program. Reporting to the VP of Program Management, you will help the program deliver against contractual, technical, regulatory, integration, and launch milestones. This role has no direct reports. You will work with engineering leaders on technical direction; you will own flight opportunity assessment, launch campaign coordination, mission integration, regulatory tracking, contract support, and external stakeholder coordination. You will operate across government customers, regulators, launch providers, mission partners, subcontractors, and internal teams. You must negotiate, challenge assumptions, push back when commitments or requirements risk the mission, and hold stakeholders accountable while preserving working relationships. This is not product management, a technical authority, or people management; it is closer to a Mission Manager role in aerospace.
