Job Description

Project Manager

Status: Full Time, Exempt

Location: Moriarty, NM

Sceye is a high-growth technology company, building the next generation of instant communications, imaging and remote sensing infrastructure through stratospheric platforms. Our lighter-than-air high-altitude platform systems (LTA HAPS) are capable of maintaining position over an operational area in the stratosphere (altitudes of 18 – 21km). They can carry multiple telecommunications, imaging and remote sensing payloads, providing unique functionality, cost, environmental and societal advantages.

Our HAPS be deployed in a matter of days and at a fraction of the cost of traditional infrastructure solutions. This makes them an ideal solution for providing telecommunications connectivity, emergency solutions in the event of natural or other disasters, environmental and infrastructure monitoring, Earth observation and a range of defense applications.

Our customers & partners include some of the largest global telecommunications companies, infrastructure operators, climate researchers, civil and defense agencies.

At Sceye, we aim high, and we want you to join us at the stratospheric edge of innovation. As part of our mission-driven team, you’ll contribute to building breakthrough technologies that are changing the way we connect and observe the world. We are looking for individuals who bring not only deep expertise but also bold vision and an unwavering commitment to excellence.

We are seeking a skilled and driven Project Manager to lead cross-functional teams in executing complex aerospace and technology programs. This role sits within the Program Management Office (PMO) and focuses on planning, coordination, schedule execution, risk/issue management, and supporting milestone readiness for projects across avionics, payload, ground systems, structures, testing, and mission operations.

The ideal candidate is a proactive, detail-oriented PM who thrives in ambiguity, drives accountability without friction, and can operate in a fast-paced hardware/software development environment. They don’t just track tasks — they lead projects forward, anticipate challenges, and ensure progress happens.

Drive Execution

• Own the project plan and schedule, ensuring visibility of dependencies and critical path.
• Lead cross-functional working sessions, drive decisions, and follow through on actions.
• Anticipate risks, remove roadblocks, and escalate early when needed.

• Partner closely with engineering, operations, supply chain, and mission teams.
• Break down complex technical goals into actionable work, clear owners, and deadlines.
• Influence without authority — build alignment through clarity and communication.

• Manage RAID logs (Risks, Actions, Issues, Decisions) and status reporting.
• Ensure milestone readiness (SRR, PDR, CDR, FWR, FLO), coordinating required artifacts.
• Maintain strong documentation and requirements traceability in Confluence/Jira.

• Create and evolve templates, reporting, dashboards, and standard operating rhythms.
• Support continuous improvement and help mature project management practices across Sceye.

Required:

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Project Management, Business, or a related field.
• 5+ years of experience managing complex technical or operational projects.
• Demonstrated ability to lead cross-functional teams and move work forward without direct authority.
• Strong scheduling, planning, and risk management experience.
• Proficiency with Jira, Confluence, MS Project (or equivalent tools).
• High ownership mindset — proactive, organized, able to anticipate needs and remove roadblocks.
• Exceptional organizational, analytical, and communication skills.
• Able to manage multiple priorities and stakeholders in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.

• PMP, Agile Certification, or other relevant project management certification.
• Experience in aerospace, manufacturing, or high-tech environments.
• Familiarity with systems engineering and product development lifecycles.
• Demonstrated success leading cross-functional teams from concept through completion.

• A doer who creates momentum — not a task-tracker.
• Comfortable navigating ambiguity, structuring chaos, and driving alignment.
• Confident, decisive, and unafraid to escalate risks or challenge assumptions.
• Builds trust quickly and leads through influence rather than authority.
• Thrives in fast-paced environments where priorities move and things evolve rapidly.

At Sceye, we’re building more than high-altitude platforms—we’re building a workplace where people (and their pups) thrive. Here’s what you’ll enjoy:

• Chef-Prepared Lunches – Fresh, onsite meals to keep you fueled and focused.
• Snacks & Refreshments – Enjoy a variety of snacks and drinks available throughout the day.
• Wellness Perks – Access to a gym, pickleball court, and an outdoor dog kennel.
• Dog-Friendly Environment – Bring your four-legged friends to work and enjoy a pet-welcoming space.
• Comprehensive Health Coverage – Medical, dental, vision, and disability insurance, with over 82% of premiums covered—and 100% for everything else.
• 401(k) with Match – Company contributions that are yours from day one.
• High-Performance Culture – Join a collaborative, inclusive environment where your work helps shape the future of aerospace.
