Technical Program Manager, Digital

Northwood is a modern space infrastructure company bringing the benefits of space to the masses through advanced communications technology. We are building a global network of phased array ground stations that enable real-time, reliable communication for satellite missions such as national security, global connectivity, and disaster response. With a vertically integrated approach, Northwood designs, builds, and rapidly deploys scalable systems that power the next generation of space missions. If you like solving complex challenges and seeing your work deployed around the world with real impact, Northwood is the place to do it.

Role

Northwood is building a global network of satellite ground stations, and the Digital org spans backend, frontend, DSP, FPGA, embedded, and infrastructure. As these products run in parallel against hard customer commitments. This role owns the horizontal layer: real-time visibility into engineering delivery risk across the Digital portfolio, and the processes and tooling that let the org execute coherently.

This is not a role that owns technical direction or schedules IC time; that authority stays with engineers and functional leads. It is the role that holds the integrated delivery picture, surfaces and resolves cross-team risk before it becomes a missed pass, and gives mission management and customers a straight answer on where things stand.

Responsibilities

- Maintain real-time visibility into engineering delivery risk across Digital products: modem pipelines, beamforming, telemetry, scheduling, and ground-station software

- Own the software development lifecycle across these products: build and maintain execution plans, dependency maps, and delivery schedules, and drive clarity on priorities, ownership, technical debt, and operational readiness

- Build the processes, tooling, and visibility that let teams coordinate without relying on proximity and ad-hoc alignment

- Identify and drive resolution of integration risks...
