Agent guide: [/agents.md](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/agents.md). --- # Technical Program Manager - **Company:** Albedo LLC - **Location:** Broomfield, CO, United States - **Experience:** Expert - **Salary:** $167,000.0 - $181,000.0 - **Contract:** Permanent contract - **Skills:** Systems Engineering, Resource Loading - **Published:** August 15, 2026 - **Apply:** https://job-boards.greenhouse.io/albedo/jobs/4358007009 ## About the Role Who We're Looking For: Builders who want to own outcomes, not tasks. Systems thinkers who balance precision with iteration while thinking about the big picture. Individuals who are energized by creating a category rather than competing in an existing one. You'll join a team that has already proven what others said wasn't feasible and is now scaling and upgrading our VLEO buses & payloads to serve mission sets across sensing, communications, and responsive operations., * BS in EE, CE, Aero, or ME, or demonstrated equivalent technical fluency. * 8+ years in program or engineering management for hardware programs, with at least one where they owned the detailed build or AI&T schedule. * Demonstrated task-level schedule ownership: resource-loaded plans, negotiated durations, and the critical path you can still explain. * Multi-disciplinary integration experience: has run a schedule spanning mechanical, electrical, software, and test, not a single-function plan. * Hardware production or integration and test exposure: has been on the floor or adjacent to it while something was being built. * CAPM/PMP a plus. ## Description How We Operate: Albedo takes a first-principles approach - in space and in business. We move with speed, take calculated risks, and learn quickly. We use AI regularly to create leverage in every discipline across the company. We work in-person at our Broomfield CO HQ to maximize team and company productivity. We work hard and with urgency to compound our first-mover advantage., * Own the execution of projects and programs across the company, measured against Albedo's company goals and committed delivery dates. * Build and maintain the integrated schedule spanning engineering, production, and software: GNC, FSW, GSW, Comms, Systems, Electronics, Optical, Mechanical, Thermal, and Production, with a real critical path and explicit margin. * Work at the build-schedule depth, not the milestone-roll-up depth: AI&T flow, production sequencing, resource loading, test-stand and fixture contention, and long-lead procurement. You will be in the details with the people doing the work. * Partner with team leads and systems engineering to translate technical plans into durations they will stand behind and hold the line when those durations are optimistic. * Find slips before they are announced. Run the replan, quantify the options, and present a decision to the team. * Own the execution cadence and keep Linear accurate as the system of record, with health, status, and dependencies that leadership can trust. * Build the program-management practice: cadence, reporting, escalation, and schedule standards that others can run as we add programs and headcount. * Represent programs to external customers and partners where applicable, while keeping internal delivery ownership as the primary focus. ## Related Videos - [Model Based Systems Engineering in an Agile Product Development Process](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/68-model-based-systems-engineering-in-an-agile-product-development-process) - [Remote Driving on Plant Grounds with State-of-the-Art Cloud Technologies](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/251-remote-driving-on-plant-grounds-with-state-of-the-art-cloud-technologies) - [What you need to know about Core Web Vitals](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/833-what-you-need-to-know-about-core-web-vitals) - [Automated Driving - Why is it so hard to introduce](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/628-automated-driving-why-is-it-so-hard-to-introduce) - [Robots are coming into the wild!
