About the Role

The Technical Director (TD) serves as the technical leader for the PGSS product line, ensuring technology needs for current and future programs are met. You will leverage cross-functional technology across the business, identify gaps, and develop the strategy and plans to fill them. This role spans the product line portfolio, including Aviation Weapons, Strategic Missiles, and Market Expansion, requiring you to develop cross-product line strategies to meet business objectives.

In this position, you will interact with customers, program leadership, and business development to understand needs and shape future plans. You will champion a technical strategy aligned with market opportunities, define technology and product roadmaps, and support new business campaigns by providing technical leadership for proposal development. Additionally, you will provide technical governance to ensure solutions remain consistent with program objectives and lead technical assessments for high-interest programs.

Our flexible work environment provides you a chance to change the world without giving up your personal life. Because this role involves a combination of collaborative/in-person and independent work, it will take the form of a hybrid work format, with time split between working onsite and remotely.
