Description
About Canopy Aerospace & Defense
Canopy A&D is built to accelerate the future of advanced materials for space, defense, and maritime systems. Canopy delivers specialized materials and components that carry customers from concept through sustainment. Canopy A&D’s advanced signal attenuation technologies and production-scale manufacturing accelerate the fielding of platforms that are faster, cooler, and quieter. Our adaptive approach ensures solutions evolve at the pace of shifting challenges, keeping our customers ahead of the curve.
Canopy Technologies’ mission is to engineer materials and solutions enabling strategic platforms to operate faster, cooler, and quieter. Our team develops advanced materials and manufacturing processes to support the most challenging missions in the galaxy: re-entry from space, interplanetary travel, hypersonic weapons, and more. Canopy’s engineering centers around extreme environment materials needed to withstand heat, corrosive environments, and the harshness of space.
Role Overview
As a Technical Program Manager at Canopy Technologies, a Canopy A&D platform, you will lead cross-functional teams to deliver innovative thermal protection solutions from concept through production. You’ll serve as the key technical liaison between customers and internal teams, ensuring alignment on goals, timelines, and deliverables.
This is a highly dynamic role, and you will also have the opportunity to support front-end program development and capture, working closely with the Growth and Engineering teams to translate customer needs into executable programs. This could include developing proposals, defining engineering requirements, and ensuring a smooth transition for new programs from the acquisition phase through execution. A key aspect of this position will be your ability to engage with prospective customers on a technical level, shaping new opportunities and laying the groundwork for successful program delivery.
This role is essential to advancing Canopy Technologies’ mission of developing cutting-edge thermal protection technologies by coordinating joint development efforts, managing program risks, and driving informed decision-making across the organization.
