## Job description

## About Us

Array Labs builds advanced radar systems to help humanity understand and respond to changes across the physical world.

We're launching a coordinated fleet of radar satellites to create a high-resolution 3D map of the Earth, updated in real time, enabling faster, smarter decision-making for government and commercial organizations supporting disaster response, infrastructure resilience, and mission-critical geopolitical intelligence.

We design and build our satellites end-to-end, producing the world's most advanced earth observation satellites. Our fleet will deliver unprecedented levels of accuracy, coverage, and responsiveness to power critical insights precisely where they're needed most.

## About the Job

As a Project Engineer, you will own the execution framework that turns Array Labs' engineering roadmaps and company priorities into delivered programs. You will build and maintain the schedules, dependencies, and milestone structure that keep our satellite missions and government contracts moving on time, and you will resolve the resource conflicts that inevitably arise across a portfolio of concurrent efforts. You will work closely with engineering leadership, functional managers, systems engineering, and responsible engineers, and partner directly with the executive team on prioritization, staffing, and bid decisions.

As part of our quickly growing team, you will own the on-time delivery of our mission-critical hardware and software that will significantly improve humanity's ability to rapidly and comprehensively understand our changing planet.

## Responsibilities

- Define and communicate clear program structure, scope, and milestones
- Build and maintain schedules for projects and programs
- Drive coordination across teams to keep deliverables moving
- Identify resource needs and negotiate staffing with functional managers
- Surface risks early and propose practical mitigations
- Translate engineering roadmaps into concrete release items and execution plans
- Support planning for new efforts, including staffing, cost estimates, schedule assumptions, and resource utilization
- Help leadership make better prioritization and bid / no-bid decisions

## Basic Qualifications

- B.S. in Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field
- 3–5 years of experience supporting complex, high-stakes technical programs with a track record of delivering integrated hardware/software systems
- Demonstrated ability to learn new, highly technical concepts rapidly and independently in a fast-paced environment
- A high level of personal accountability and the "whatever it takes" attitude required to hit mission-critical deadlines
- Excellent interpersonal skills with the ability to bridge the gap between deep-tech engineering details and executive-level strategy

## Preferred Skills & Experience

- Hands-on experience in the design, development, integration, or test of electronic or mechanical hardware systems
- Experience with scripting (Python, SQL) or data visualization tools to automate program metrics and performance tracking
- Proven success in a high-growth, ambiguous, or "clean-sheet" hardware environment
- Familiarity or experience with the aerospace industry or exposure to development of safety-critical hardware systems

## Compensation & Benefits

Our hiring and compensation strategy is simple: We offer competitive salaries and meaningful equity. We want everyone here to have real ownership in what we're building. Full-time employees also enjoy a comprehensive benefits package including the following: Health & Wellness Medical, dental, and vision insurance (including a fully employer-paid medical plan) Paid parental leave (12 weeks / 6 weeks) Time Off 19 paid vacation days, 10 sick days, 11 company holidays Financial 401(k) with employer match (100% match up to 3%, 50% match up to 5%) Commuter expenses (parking & transit)
