About the Role:

We are seeking a high-energy, proactive Program Manager to join our team in support of the U-2 Systems Program Office (SPO) . In this role, you won't just be managing schedules; you will be a driving force behind the modernization of the "Dragon Lady," one of the Air Force's most vital intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) assets.

As a self-starter with a deep understanding of the US Department of Defense (DoD) acquisition and technology development systems , you will serve as the PM for a high-priority avionics modernization project . Beyond a single project, you will act as a catalyst for efficiency, delivering tangible Program Management and process improvement results across multiple initiatives within the SPO. You’ll bridge the gap between legacy sustainment and modern engineering, ensuring the U-2 remains mission-capable and technologically superior.

What You’ll Do:

• Lead Avionics Modernization: Orchestrate the end-to-end lifecycle of avionics and other upgrades, from requirement definition through integration, flight test, and fielding.

What We’re Looking For:

Preferred Skills:

• Domain Expertise: Prior experience with the U-2 platform or aircraft systems.
• Process Ninja: Familiarity with Lean Six Sigma or similar process improvement frameworks.
• Technical Fluency: Ability to "speak engineer"—understanding avionics architectures, software integration, and digital engineering to lead technical teams effectively.
• Communication: Exceptional ability to translate complex technical hurdles into actionable executive-level plans and act on those plans.

This is a high-impact opportunity to influence the future of a legendary aircraft program. If you are a PM who values tangible results over paperwork and innovation over "the way we've always done it," we want to talk to you.
