About Epirus

Epirus is a high-growth technology company dedicated to overcoming the asymmetric challenges inherent to the future of national security. Epirus' flagship product, Leonidas, is a software-defined system built using intelligent power management techniques which allow power-hungry systems to do more with less.

Job Summary: This is an exciting role in an innovative, high-growth defense technology company. Under an agile development framework, Technical Project Managers at Epirus serve as both scrum masters and product owners, leading research and development projects from initial planning through delivery of first-article solutions. Epirus products are typically developed ahead of customer involvement and requirements, so engineers rely on product owners, usually a TPM and a Chief Engineer, to understand both short-term priorities and long-term value to the end customer, whom they represent during the R&D phase. In this role, you will work closely with talented engineering and operations teams, reporting to the Manager of Technical Project Management within the Engineering and Technology Organization (ETO).

  • Be a servant leader to an interdisciplinary and inter-functional scrum to ensure the team delivers the highest value to Epirus and its customers
  • Remove obstacles and find creative ways to do things better, faster, and more efficiently
  • Track the delivery of technical features, ensuring that milestones and deadlines are met. Report progress to relevant stakeholders
  • Identify potential risks, dependencies, and obstacles, and work proactively to resolve them before they impact the timeline or deliverables
  • Drive company goals by both delivering on company promises while also foreseeing future opportunities and shaping technology products to be more effective

Basic Qualifications

  • B.S. in Engineering or a related technical field AND minimum 5 years of relevant project management experience, especially in high-growth startups and aerospace
  • Experience with the deployment and integration of hardware and software systems
  • Experience with building, leading, and developing small teams of engineers
  • Prior systems engineering or software integration experience

  • Proficient in MS Project and/or Smartsheet use
  • Engineering or Operations leadership program graduate or related experience
  • Previous work on DoD Projects
  • Experience with design, development, and/or validation of PCBAs is a plus
