Senior Program Manager, Aerospace NPI

What your day looks like

You’ll take point on complex new product introduction programs in a fast-paced aerospace manufacturing setting—owning execution from early development through production launch. Your mornings might start with a phase-gate readiness review, followed by a supplier stand-up and a design-for-manufacture discussion on a complex fabrication. Afternoons are for schedule and cost burn-downs, risk mitigations, and customer touchpoints. Throughout, you’ll align engineering, quality, manufacturing, supply chain, and the customer to keep scope, budget, and timeline on track.
