Technical Program Manager, Spacecraft Subsystems
MaC Venture Capital
Xona is the navigational intelligence company bringing real-time, centimeter-level certainty to any device, anywhere on Earth.
With Pulsar – the world’s most advanced PNT satellite infrastructure in Low Earth Orbit – Xona will offer a future-proof, backwards-compatible global positioning system optimized for absolute precision, superior power, and robust protection.
As our first Technical Program Manager (TPM) embedded with our Montreal-based Spacecraft Subsystems team, you'll own the planning and execution of spacecraft component development and manufacturing, working closely with the Spacecraft Subsystem Lead to keep a highly autonomous, fast-moving hardware team on track. This team isn't defined by a single component - you'll help stand up the program infrastructure as we take on new subsystems over time. If you want to be close to the hardware, help build something from the ground up, and grow with a company doing something genuinely new in space, this role is for you.
Responsibilities
- Subsystem Schedule Ownership: Own and maintain the development and manufacturing schedule for Montreal-based subsystem programs, tracking milestones, managing dependencies, and keeping the team honest on deliverables.
- Cross-Functional Coordination: Serve as the coordination hub between the Montreal engineering team and Xona's US-based program and engineering teams - ensuring component requirements, interfaces, and V&V plans stay synchronized across sites.
- Supplier & Manufacturing Management: Support the team in managing component suppliers and manufacturing partners, keeping external deliverables aligned with internal development timelines.
- Risk & Issue Tracking: Surface risks early, maintain the risk register, and work with technical leads to resolve blockers before they impact the schedule. Escalate to program leadership with context and a recommended path forward.
- Program Reporting: Prepare and deliver regular subsystem status updates to the Montreal team lead and US program leadership, maintaining a clear picture of schedule health, open risks, and upcoming decisions.
- Process Building: Help develop lightweight, effective project management processes suited to a small, adaptable engineering team - you'll have real input into how PM operates in Montreal as the team grows.
Required Qualifications
- 3-5 years of project or program management experience in complex hardware development, ideally in aerospace, defense, or a similarly technical field.
- Some direct exposure to spacecraft, satellite component, or precision hardware development - you have a working understanding of how subsystem development progresses from requirements through manufacturing.
- Organized and detail-oriented, with the ability to track interdependencies across mechanical, electrical, and integration workstreams.
- Comfortable operating with a high degree of autonomy in a small team environment - you drive your own agenda and don't need a lot of overhead to stay on track.
- Clear communicator who can work effectively with engineers on the bench and summarize status cleanly for remote leadership.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with precision mechanical or electromechanical component development -reaction wheels, actuators, mechanisms, or similar.
- Familiarity with rate manufacturing ramp-up for flight hardware.
- Experience coordinating across geographically distributed teams, particularly US-Canada or similar cross-border environments.
- Proficiency with scheduling tools such as Wrike, MS Project, Smartsheet, or similar.
- PMP or other project management certifications.
Xona est une entreprise spécialisée en intelligence de navigation, offrant une précision en temps réel au centimètre près à tout appareil, partout sur Terre.
Avec Pulsar — l’infrastructure satellitaire PNT en orbite terrestre basse la plus avancée au monde — Xona proposera un système de positionnement global évolutif, rétrocompatible, optimisé pour une précision absolue, une puissance supérieure et une robustesse accrue.
En tant que premier gestionnaire de programme technique (TPM) intégré à notre équipe des sous-systèmes de véhicules spatiaux basée à Montréal, vous prendrez en charge la planification et l'exécution du développement et de la fabrication des composants spatiaux, en collaboration étroite avec le responsable des sous-systèmes de véhicules spatiaux, afin de maintenir le cap d'une équipe matérielle hautement autonome et à rythme soutenu. Cette équipe ne se définit pas par un seul composant : vous contribuerez à mettre en place l'infrastructure du programme à mesure que nous prendrons en charge de nouveaux sous-systèmes au fil du temps. Si vous souhaitez être proche du matériel, contribuer à bâtir quelque chose à partir de zéro et évoluer au sein d'une entreprise qui accomplit quelque chose de véritablement nouveau dans le domaine spatial, ce poste est pour vous.
Responsabilités
- Gestion de l'échéancier des sous-systèmes : Prendre en charge et maintenir l'échéancier de développement et de fabrication des programmes de sous-systèmes basés à Montréal, en assurant le suivi des jalons, la gestion des dépendances et le respect des échéances par l'équipe.
- Coordination interfonctionnelle : Agir comme point de coordination central entre l'équipe d'ingénierie de Montréal et les équipes de programme et d'ingénierie de Xona basées aux États-Unis, en veillant à ce que les exigences relatives aux composants, les interfaces et les plans de vérification et validation (V&V) demeurent synchronisés entre les sites.
- Gestion des fournisseurs et de la fabrication : Appuyer l'équipe dans la gestion des fournisseurs de composants et des partenaires de fabrication, en veillant à ce que les livrables externes demeurent alignés sur les échéanciers de développement internes.
- Suivi des risques et des enjeux : Détecter les risques de manière proactive, tenir à jour le registre des risques et collaborer avec les responsables techniques pour résoudre les obstacles avant qu'ils n'affectent l'échéancier. Transmettre les enjeux à la direction du programme avec le contexte nécessaire et une recommandation de solution.
- Rapports de programme : Préparer et présenter des mises à jour régulières sur l'état des sous-systèmes au responsable de l'équipe de Montréal et à la direction du programme aux États-Unis, en maintenant une vision claire de l'état de l'échéancier, des risques ouverts et des décisions à venir.
- Élaboration de processus : Contribuer à l'élaboration de processus de gestion de projet légers et efficaces, adaptés à une petite équipe d'ingénierie flexible — vous aurez une réelle influence sur la façon dont la gestion de projet fonctionnera à Montréal à mesure que l'équipe grandira.
Qualifications Requises
- De 3 à 5 ans d'expérience en gestion de projet ou de programme dans le développement de matériel complexe, idéalement dans les domaines de l'aérospatiale, de la défense ou un domaine technique similaire.
- Une certaine expérience directe avec le développement de véhicules spatiaux, de composants de satellites ou de matériel de précision — vous comprenez concrètement comment le développement d'un sous-système progresse, des exigences jusqu'à la fabrication.
- Sens de l'organisation et souci du détail, avec la capacité de suivre les interdépendances entre les volets mécanique, électrique et d'intégration.
- À l'aise pour travailler avec un haut degré d'autonomie dans un environnement de petite équipe — vous êtes capable de gérer votre propre programme de travail sans nécessiter beaucoup d'encadrement pour rester sur la bonne voie.
- Communicateur clair, capable de travailler efficacement avec les ingénieurs sur le terrain et de résumer clairement l'état d'avancement pour la direction à distance.
Qualifications Souhaitées
- Expérience dans le développement de composants mécaniques ou électromécaniques de précision — roues de réaction, actionneurs, mécanismes ou similaire.
- Connaissance du passage à la fabrication en cadence pour du matériel de vol.
- Expérience de coordination entre équipes réparties géographiquement, notamment dans des environnements transfrontaliers Canada–États-Unis ou similaires.
- Maîtrise d'outils de planification tels que Wrike, MS Project, Smartsheet ou équivalent.
- Certification PMP ou autre certification en gestion de projet.
